In creating an entirely new way to compress data, a team of researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has drawn inspiration from physics and the arts. The ...

Compression is performed by a program that uses a formula or algorithm to determine how to shrink the size of the data. For instance, an algorithm may represent a string of bits-- or 0s and 1s -- with ...

Many of today's embedded systems are providing more sophisticated solutions to a wide variety of applications and industries. With this increase in sophistication, there is a corresponding increase in ...

A clear, engaging lesson introducing students to data compression in computer systems. Learners explore why compression is needed, how different methods work, and how file size, quality and ...
