Information theory provides the fundamental framework for understanding and designing data compression algorithms. At its core lies the concept of entropy, a quantitative measure that reflects the ...

Storage is the most difficult problem in information technology. Why? Because entropy is always working to destroy our data. There's only one strategy that works.

The chip combines ZeroPoint’s entropy-based algorithms with a number of other performance optimization methods. Notably, it stores information that was used recently in an onboard cache.

Drastic reduction Data compression enables music files to be drastically reduced in size. Music on a compact disc is uncompressed. An average song lasting three minutes requires about 32MB of storage.
