It humorously calls this family the Model Zoo because one is like the size of a fly's brain and the other the size of a ...

Compression algorithms, such as LZ77 and Huffman, analyze data for redundancies and patterns, allowing them to represent those patterns more efficiently with fewer bits.

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.

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.

It contains two compression algorithms: GZip and Brotli. In this sections that follow, we’ll examine how we can compress and decompress string data using both GZip and Brotli compression ...

Not every compression method works for every file, and you can increase efficiency by changing the file type, codec, or program used.

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 ...

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 ...
