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 ...

The amount of data that the big cloud computing providers now store is staggering, so it’s no surprise that most store all of this information as compressed data in some form or another — just like ...

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 ...

Microsoft is open-sourcing its cloud-compression algorithm and optimized hardware implementation for cloud storage. Microsoft is contributing that algorithm, known as ""=""> plus the associated ...

Optimizing data compression methods has become more critical than ever for cloud storage, data management, and streaming applications. Working with compressed data reduces network bandwidth, data ...

Many of today's embedded systems are providing more sophisticated solutions to a wide variety of applications and industries. With this increase in sophistication, there is a corresponding increase in ...

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 ...

In data communications it is desirable to have faster transfer rates at lower costs. Data compression addresses these demands by reducing the amount of data that must be transferred over a medium of ...

Brotli is an open-source compression algorithm that was released publicly by Google back in 2015. Unlike gzip, it was not initially released for use as a standalone algorithm, but rather as an offline ...

Take advantage of the GZip and Brotli compression methods to reduce the size of string data and improve performance in your .NET Core applications. When developing applications you will often need to ...
