  3. 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:

  4. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Data compression aims to reduce the size of data files, enhancing storage efficiency and speeding up data transmission. K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, is employed to partition a dataset into a specified number of clusters, k, each represented by the centroid of its points.

  5. gzip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

    gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression.The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler as a free software replacement for the compress program used in early Unix systems, and intended for use by GNU (from which the "g" of gzip is derived).

  6. ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia

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

    The .ZIP file format was designed by Phil Katz of PKWARE and Gary Conway of Infinity Design Concepts. The format was created after Systems Enhancement Associates (SEA) filed a lawsuit against PKWARE claiming that the latter's archiving products, named PKARC, were derivatives of SEA's ARC archiving system.

  7. Executable compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression

    Executable compression used to be more popular when computers were limited to the storage capacity of floppy disks, which were both slow and low capacity media, and small hard drives; it allowed the computer to store more software in the same amount of space, without the inconvenience of having to manually unpack an archive file every time the ...

  8. Solid compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_compression

    A tar.gz is created by joining the files in tar and then compressing with gzip. In computing, solid compression is a method for data compression of multiple files, wherein all the uncompressed files are concatenated and treated as a single data block. Such an archive is called a solid archive.

  9. Disk sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector

    Storing small files on a filesystem with large clusters will therefore waste disk space; such wasted disk space is called slack space. For cluster sizes which are small versus the average file size, the wasted space per file will be statistically about half of the cluster size; for large cluster sizes, the wasted space will become greater.
