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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

No new compression algorithm required (depending on the nature of the data you might get the compression you want for free by using compressed tables with this approach) and it is easy to do with ...

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 ...

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.
