[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

Facebook is open sourcing a new compression algorithm called Zstandard that aims to replace the common technology behind the Zip file format. The most common algorithm behind the Zip file format is ...

Researchers in Slovakia benchmarked five lossless compression algorithms directly on an STM32 microcontroller, revealing ...

The new Zstandard 1.0 compression algorithm, recently open sourced by Facebook, is one of the few compression algorithms that is both faster and more efficient than zlib, the current “reigning ...

In the HBO comedy Silicon Valley, Richard and his team, Pied Piper, accidentally create a lossless compression algorithm, whipping all of the big tech companies of the fictional world into a frenzy ...

ZFS compression is the free storage upgrade my NAS needed, but only for some files.

Today, Facebook is releasing its Zstandard compression algorithm into the wild as open source. The lossless compression technology is aimed at replacing existing libraries like zlib that are powered ...

Entropy, a measure of the molecular disorder or randomness of a system, is critical to understanding a system's physical composition. In complex physical systems, the interaction of internal elements ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...

Viewers today are used to high compression ratios and artifacts from wireless and mobile video (H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC). But there is a threshold where the experience is so poor they stop watching ...
