Google is no Silicon Valley startup, but it's just as intent on creating compression algorithms as the fictional "Pied Piper." The search giant is about to unleash its latest algorithm, called ...

Everyone has unzipped files via an algorithm called Deflate that has been used for data compression for 20 years. Now Facebook says it has something better called Zstandard.

LZ4: Extremely fast, lossless compression algorithm. RAR: Similar speeds to 7-Zip for decompression and compression. ARC: Rarely used but was designed for high compression and fast operation.

Google is open-sourcing a new general purpose data compression library called Zopfli that can be used to speed up Web downloads. The Zopfli Compression Algorithm, which got its name from a Swiss ...

Microsoft has conducted tests, such as the Weissman Score introduced by the TV show Silicon Valley, on Google's Brotli. It's endorsed the compression algorithm and announced an alpha preview for .NET.

Compression algorithms Compression is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Some compression tools are “lossy,” such as those used to reduce the size of mp3 files while allowing listeners to have ...

A 20-year old vulnerability in the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm – used in some Android phones, the Linux kernel, and even Mars Rovers – was finally patched this week.

AI-based compression algorithms can be applied to a multitude of other applications that require both spatial and temporal processing like video does.

Zstandard is a "lossless" compression standard---meaning the algorithm can compress and decompress without losing even tiny pieces of the data---and it can decompress at unusually fast speeds.

Display Stream Compression, or DSC, is a powerful compression algorithm that your monitor and TV may already be using without your knowledge.

Take advantage of the GZip and Brotli compression methods to reduce the size of string data and improve performance in your .NET Core applications.

Chrome is about to load web pages a lot faster than you’ve experienced up until now. Thanks to a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which Google introduced last September, Chrome will be ...
