  • Bijective BWT (7 Comments)

    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

  • Precomp: More Compression for your Compressed Files (3 Comments)

    So many of today’s files are already compressed (using old, outdated algorithms) that newer algorithms don’t even get a chance to touch them. Christian Schneider’s Precomp comes to rescue by undoing the harm.

Initial Proof of Concept Successful in Optimizing FIX for Streaming Market Data

Posted by Sachin Garg on 8th September 2005 | Permanent Link

FIX Protocol Ltd. announced initial results from the Market Data Optimization Working Group Proof of Concept (POC) which is a focused effort designed to develop practical solutions for the efficient dissemination of market data.

The results thus far indicate that the proposed encoding algorithm is fast enough to keep up with data rates well over 10 Mbit/second and in some cases over 50 Mbit/second. Testing activities demonstrated 78% to 89% peak compression rates when compared to the original size of the data source. CPU Utilization was measured at 3.4 microseconds per message (294,000 messages per second) or less.
