Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...

In a tiny office in West Palm Beach, Fla., a handful of clunky computers are crunching through a software problem that many consider unsolvable. These are the offices of ZeoSync, a start-up that made ...

Windows quietly squeezing memory so your PC doesn't have to panic.

There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The JPEG ...

Trajectory data compression and simplification techniques have emerged as essential tools for managing the ever‐increasing volumes of spatio‐temporal data generated by GPS devices and other ...

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 ...

With more and more embedded systems being connected, sending state information from one machine to another has become more common. However, sending large packets of data around on the network can be ...

A novel technique rethinks hardware data compression to free up more memory used by computers and mobile devices, allowing them to run faster and perform more tasks simultaneously. A novel technique ...

Alireza Doostan is leading a major effort for real-time data compression for supercomputer research. A professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the ...
