Everyone has unzipped files via an algorithm called Deflate that has been used for data compression for 20 years. Now Facebook says it has something better called Zstandard.

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives data compression libraries provide highly optimized, implementations of all the common data compression algorithms.

Google has released a new data compression algorithm it hopes will make the Internet faster for everyone. Dubbed Zopfli, the open-source algorithm will accelerate data transfer speeds and reduce ...

Alongside data compression algorithms—which reduce the size of data while preserving essential information—these techniques underpin a range of applications from bioinformatics to large-scale ...

Even if you use a “real” compression algorithm, they will almost always perform better if the data to compress has more repeating sequences.

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 ...

AlgoTrim actually specializes in data-compression algorithms—specifically, codecs that deal with images and video on mobile platforms.
