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 ...

If you’d like to keep the full, original quality of your images (and videos) in messaging apps, there are a couple of solutions you can try. First, if the app supports attaching files, use the “Attach ...

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 ...

A team of engineers at Dropbox’s Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO’s Silicon Valley. You would be forgiven for thinking that the elevator pitch for Daniel Reiter Horn’s ...

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 ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...

Suffix arrays serve as a fundamental tool in string processing by indexing all suffixes of a text in lexicographical order, thereby facilitating fast pattern searches, text retrieval, and genome ...

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.

Viewers today are used to high compression ratios and artifacts from wireless and mobile video (H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC). But there is a threshold where the experience is so poor they stop watching ...
