File compression is an incredible technological breakthrough that has made modern computing, streaming, and data storage ...

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.

Their proposed method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, was found to be significantly more powerful than classical data compression algorithms. "In January 2023, when ...

For example, I can make a 256 kB text file, containing over 260,000 identical characters, and use a file compression tool and the Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LMZA) to squash it down to ...

Thanks to a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which Google introduced last September, Chrome will be able to compress data up to 26 percent more than its existing compression engine, ...

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 ...

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.

Google has released the source code for a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which the company hopes will help speed up web browsing by shrinking images, web fonts, and other content.

Apple has open-sourced its new lossless compression algorithm, LZFSE, introduced last year with iOS 9 and OS X 10.10. According to Apple, LZFE provides the same compression gain as ZLib level 5 while ...

Google's Newest Compression Algorithm Will Stealthily Make Your Internet Faster. It's called "Brotli" and it can squish down data like a champ. By Eric Limer Published: Sep 22, 2015 2:08 PM EDT.
