A method for compressing data in a local cache of a web server is described. A local cache compression engine accesses values in the local cache and determines a cardinality of the values of the local cache. The local cache compression engine determines a compression rate of a compression algorithm based on the cardinality of the values of the local cache. The compression algorithm is applied to the cache based on the compression rate to generate a compressed local cache.

A data compressor with a hash computing hardware configured to evaluate the hash value for the current hash key extracted from a source data string, obtain a hash line corresponding to the hash value from a hash table, and perform hash key comparison to find at least one matching hash key. The hash line includes a prefix address column that stores a prefix address. Each entry of the hash line is provided to store a hash key and an offset. The hash computing hardware evaluates an address of the at least one matching hash key by combining the prefix address and an offset of the at least one matching hash key, and the offset of the at least one matching hash key is obtained from an entry storing the at least one matching hash key.

An information handling system includes a processor configured to process a training data file to determine an optimal data compression algorithm. The processor may also perform a compression ratio analysis that includes compressing the training data file using data compression algorithms, calculating a compression ratio associated with each of the data compression algorithms, determining an optimal compression ratio from the compression ratio associated with the each data compression algorithm; and determining a desirable data compression algorithm associated with the training data file based on the optimal compression ratio. The processor may also perform a probability analysis that includes generating a symbol transition matrix based on the desirable data compression algorithm, extracting statistical feature data based on the symbol transition matrix, and generating probability matrices based on the statistical feature data to determine the optimal data compression algorithm for each segment of a working data file.

A matrix compression/decompression accelerator (MCA) system/method that coordinates lossless data compression (LDC) and lossless data decompression (LDD) transfers between an external data memory (EDM) and a local data memory (LDM) is disclosed. The system implements LDC using a 2D-to-1D transformation of 2D uncompressed data blocks (2DU) within LDM to generate 1D uncompressed data blocks (1DU). The 1DU is then compressed to generate a 1D compressed superblock (CSB) in LDM. This LDM CSB may then be written to EDM with a reduced number of EDM bus cycles. The system implements LDD using decompression of CSB data retrieved from EDM to generate a 1D decompressed data block (1DD) in LDM. A 1D-to-2D transformation is then applied to the LDM 1DD to generate a 2D decompressed data block (2DD) in LDM. This 2DD may then be operated on by a matrix compute engine (MCE) using a variety of function operators.

A sensor data are compressed on field devices using a representation is provided. The field device immediately decompresses the compressed data in order to detect a deviation. If there is a deviation, then a cloud storage receives the sensor data as raw uncompressed data. A cloud component receives a trigger signal from the field device, indicating that the representation used by the field device for compression does not sufficiently describe the sensor data. The cloud component then learns a new representation by retrieving and analyzing all data stored in the cloud storage. The method and field device provide robust, compression-based data acquisition. They improve quality and precision of the data captured by the field devices. As the representation in the field device can be updated, it becomes possible to accommodate changes in the device setup. The cloud infrastructure provides automatic learning of the representation in the cloud.

A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute information for the point cloud. Attribute values for at least one starting point are included in a compressed attribute information file and attribute correction values used to correct predicted attribute values are included in the compressed attribute information file. Attribute values are predicted based, at least in part, on attribute values of neighboring points and distances between a particular point for whom an attribute value is being predicted and the neighboring points. The predicted attribute values are compared to attribute values of a point cloud prior to compression to determine attribute correction values. A decoder follows a similar prediction process as an encoder and corrects predicted values using attribute correction values included in a compressed attribute information file.
