In this podcast, Franck Cappello from Argonne describes EZ, an effort to effort to compress and reduce the enormous scientific data sets that some of the ECP applications are producing. The current ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

ABSTRACT.Future orbiting observatories will survey large areas of sky in order to constrain the physics of dark matter and dark energy using weak gravitational lensing and other methods. Lossy ...

Data Compression is one of the most important components of this world, driven by petabytes of data daily. We, as humans, are generating data every second. From walking to running, eating to drinking, ...

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich are working on a novel approach to solving increasingly large graph problems. Large graphs are a basis of many problems in social sciences (e.g., studying human ...

If double-digit compression is your goal, lossy codecs are the only way to go. Even if lossy compression artifacts exist, they might be inaudible. Song clips of similar duration from different music ...
