Lossless data compression plays a vital role in addressing the growth in data volumes, real-time processing demands, and bandwidth constraints that modern systems face. Dr. Sotiropoulou will deliver ...

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.

Joins LZ4/Snappy Decompressor for a fast, efficient, end-to-end accelerated lossless data compression solution supporting both algorithms. Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey — June 27, 2025 — Semiconductor ...

Brother and sister team Peter Ma and Nancy Ghaly presented Piper Pied, a lossless compression algorithm for online images, at the Disrupt NY Hackathon today. The startup is a “creative spin” on Pied ...

The “middle-out” algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO’s “Silicon Valley” may have been fictional, but something like it can be found in Lepton, a cool ...

Over the past few years there has been a remarkable progress in the quality of display devices, with 4K displays becoming the norm, and 8K and 10K displays following closely. However, this increase in ...

Common audio data formats such as the Compact Disc generally store a two-channel (stereo) audio signal. The left and fight channel data streams are stored entirely independently. Various new data ...

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 ...

Compression is front and center at Facebook’s annual @Scale conference in San Jose. The social networking giant open-sourced a homegrown algorithm called Zstandard at the event today that is described ...
