A new form of data compression, called Zippads, will create faster computer programs that could drastically lower the costs of computing.

Compression even your Mom will loveThe compression ratio is better than 4:1. Try that with Lempel-Ziv!

Given the enormous thirst for data, coupled with the finite existence of copper and fiber optic cables that link clients and servers together, the need for powerful compression algorithms is ...

Data compression is the science of shrinking. Compression makes the data that creates images, sounds, video and even text small enough to be sent through telephone wires--the network of the Internet.

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Data compression is the general term for the various algorithms and programs developed to address this problem. A compression program is used to convert data from an easy-to-use format to one ...

Sometimes it seems like there is nothing XOR can’t do. There’s lots of compression tricks out there including squozing if your data can survive it.

Do not try this at home. SQL Server 2008 Data Compression is an intelligent compression strategy. It saves space and delivers better performance through less IO.
