RealTime Data Compression

 Following the  previous post on Binary Arithmetic Coder , we left with a simple-to-ask but difficult-to-answer question : how to up...

 There is a way to code an element using less than one bit of space. Although the idea might sound weird, it is in fact a proven method si...

 After a very fast evaluation, LZ4 has been recently integrated into the Apache project Hadoop - MapReduce . This is an important news,...

 Getting better compression ratio with LZ algorithms requires more than looking for long matches. It also requires some "parsing...

 If there is one thing that most Compression algorithms must do well and fast, it is comparing byte sequences. Finding a match depends o...

 As a first implementation of the recently proposed compressed stream format , here comes a new version of Zhuff, v0.8 . It was indeed my...

 Following my recent post , here is what i could come up with after a few minutes of thinking : 2 bytes might be enough for my need. Wel...

 I've been pretty careful at designing compression format & algorithm, but much less detailed when it comes to compressed stream f...
