Methods, systems, and computer programs for compressing nucleic acid sequence data. A method can include obtaining nucleic acid sequence data representing: (i) a read sequence, and (ii) a plurality of quality scores, determining whether the read sequence includes at least one “N” base, based on a determination that the read sequence includes at least one “N” base, generating, by one or more computers, a first encoding data set by using a first encoding process to encode each set of four quality scores of the read sequence into a single byte of memory, and using a second encoding process to encode the first encoded data set, thereby compressing the data to be compressed.

11776164 · 2023-10-03 · ·

Techniques are provided herein for more efficiently storing images that have a common subject, such as product images that share the same product in the image. Each image undergoes an adaptive tiling procedure to split the image into a plurality of tiles, with each tile identifying a region of the image having pixels with the same content. The tiles across multiple images can then be clustered together and those tiles having identical content are removed. Once all duplicate tiles have been removed from the set of all tiles across the images, the tiles are once again clustered based on their encoding scheme and certain encoding parameters. Tiles within each cluster are compressed using the best compression technique for the tiles in each corresponding cluster. By removing duplicative tile content between numerous images of the same subject, the total amount of data that needs to be stored is reduced.

Data compression device, memory system and method

According to one embodiment, a data compression device includes a dictionary match determination unit, an extended matching generator, a match selector and a match connector. The dictionary match determination unit searches for first past input data matching first new input data. The extended matching generator compares second past input data subsequent to the first past input data with second new input data subsequent to the first new input data. The match selector generates compressed data by replacing a part of the input data with match information output from the dictionary match determination unit or the extended matching generator. The match connector replaces a plurality of match information in the compressed data with single match information.

Flexible hardware for high throughput vector dequantization with dynamic vector length and codebook size

The performance of a neural network (NN) and/or deep neural network (DNN) can limited by the number of operations being performed as well as memory data management of a NN/DNN. Using vector quantization of neuron weight values, the processing of data by neurons can be optimize the number of operations as well as memory utilization to enhance the overall performance of a NN/DNN. Operatively, one or more contiguous segments of weight values can be converted into one or more vectors of arbitrary length and each of the one or more vectors can be assigned an index. The generated indexes can be stored in an exemplary vector quantization lookup table and retrieved by exemplary fast weight lookup hardware at run time on the fly as part of an exemplary data processing function of the NN as part of an inline de-quantization operation to obtain needed one or more neuron weight values.

System for electronic data compression by automated time-dependent compression algorithm
11750214 · 2023-09-05 · ·

A system is provided for electronic data compression by automated time-dependent compression algorithm. In particular, the system may track instances in which a particular dataset is used, copied, or accessed over time. For certain datasets (e.g., datasets that have not been accessed for a threshold amount of time), the system may use a time-based compression algorithm that progressively removes the least significant bits of such datasets as time passes. The compression of the datasets may continue until the system detects that further compression would cause the dataset to be unreadable or unrecoverable. In this way, the system may minimize the computing resources allocated to storing datasets that are not frequently accessed.
