Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

Lossless data compression plays a vital role in addressing the growth in data volumes, real-time processing demands, and bandwidth constraints that modern systems face. Dr. Sotiropoulou will deliver ...

Over the past few years there has been a remarkable progress in the quality of display devices, with 4K displays becoming the norm, and 8K and 10K displays following closely. However, this increase in ...

As mentioned previously, the characteristics of typical audio signals vary from time to time and therefore we must expect the required bit rate for lossless compression to vary as well. Since the bit ...

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 ...

Compression is front and center at Facebook’s annual @Scale conference in San Jose. The social networking giant open-sourced a homegrown algorithm called Zstandard at the event today that is described ...

Compression algorithms come in two fundamental flavors: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression of computer text files began in the 1970s, when Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv created and patented the ...

Brother and sister team Peter Ma and Nancy Ghaly presented Piper Pied, a lossless compression algorithm for online images, at the Disrupt NY Hackathon today. The startup is a “creative spin” on Pied ...

Joins LZ4/Snappy Decompressor for a fast, efficient, end-to-end accelerated lossless data compression solution supporting both algorithms. Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey — June 27, 2025 — Semiconductor ...

Data Compression is one of the most important components of this world, driven by petabytes of data daily. We, as humans, are generating data every second. From walking to running, eating to drinking, ...
