check out [Greg Kennedy]’s Lossy Text Compression which simply, brilliantly, and amusingly uses a thesaurus instead of some fancy algorithms. Yep, it just swaps longer words for shorter ones.

The solution was so effective that the core technology developed—a lossless compression algorithm—is still in use today. Okay, so a five-decade computing story is hardly 'news' but thanks to a ...

[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format ...

TITC has successfully developed compression algorithms and the corresponding VLSI macro-IP ... 50K gates plus 1 line buffer in both encoder and decoder. Under TSMC 55nm HV process, the encoder can run ...
