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 ...

Facebook is open sourcing a new compression algorithm called Zstandard that aims to replace the common technology behind the Zip file format. The most common algorithm behind the Zip file format is ...

Video compression has become an essential technology to meet the burgeoning demand for high‐resolution content while maintaining manageable file sizes and transmission speeds. Recent advances in ...

Algorithm promises faster data transfer speeds and reduced Web page load times by compressing content up to 8 percent smaller than zlib. Steven Musil is a senior news editor at CNET News. He's been ...

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 ...

Because video clips are made up of sequences of individual images, or “frames,” video compression algorithms share many concepts and techniques with still-image compression algorithms. Therefore, we ...

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 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.
