The "middle-out" algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO's "Silicon Valley" may have been fictional, but something like it can be found in Lepton, a ...

Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub.

The results showed that 7-Zip's default 7z format using the lossless LZMA algorithm was able to handle a lot more data more quickly than WinRAR.

The discrete cosine transform (DCT) remains a cornerstone of modern image and video compression techniques, enabling the decomposition of visual data into frequency components that can be ...

As well as LZMA, you can opt to use the LZO algorithms, which are insanely fast, but don't provide a great compression ratio, or the glacially slow ZPAQ, which gives maximum compression ratios.

MIT researchers could speed up file compression using an improved Fourier transform algorithm A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image ...
