  2. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    Together with F, this makes 2 N +1 files that all compress into one of the 2 N files of length N. But 2 N is smaller than 2 N +1, so by the pigeonhole principle there must be some file of length N that is simultaneously the output of the compression function on two different inputs. That file cannot be decompressed reliably (which of the two ...

  3. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    The acceptable trade-off between loss of audio quality and transmission or storage size depends upon the application. For example, one 640 MB compact disc (CD) holds approximately one hour of uncompressed high fidelity music, less than 2 hours of music compressed losslessly, or 7 hours of music compressed in the MP3 format at a medium bit rate ...

  4. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    For example, a compressed ZIP file is smaller than its original, but repeatedly compressing the same file will not reduce the size to nothing. Most compression algorithms can recognize when further compression would be pointless and would in fact increase the size of the data.

  5. ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format)

    ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression.A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common.

    File extension(s) [a] MIME type [b] Official name [c] Platform [d] Description .br application/x-brotli Brotli: all Brotli is a compression algorithm developed by Google for textual web content, and typically achieves higher compression ratios than other algorithms for this use case.

  7. Compressed instruction set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_instruction_set

    These generally retained a 32-bit instruction format, while expanding the internal registers to a 64-bit format. By the original definition, these are compressed instructions, as they are smaller than the basic data word size. However, this term is not used in this context; references to compressed instructions invariably refer to 16-bit versions.

  9. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:
