  • Patent number: 10419021
    Abstract: The transmission of broadcast data, such as financial data and news feeds, is accelerated over a communication channel using data compression and decompression to provide secure transmission and transparent multiplication of communication bandwidth, as well as reduce the latency. Broadcast data may include packets having fields. Encoders associated with particular fields may be selected to compress those particular fields.

  • Publication number: 20180285393
    Abstract: Systems for data compression using content estimation. In one aspect, a system includes a dictionary encoder and one or more additional data compression encoders. One or more processors are configured to determine compression statistics related to a first data block, estimate a size of a first compressed data block, estimate a size of a second compressed data block, compare the estimated sizes, compress the first data block using the dictionary encoder when the estimated size of the first compressed data block is smaller than the estimated size of the second compressed data block, and compress the first data block using the additional data compression encoder when the estimated size of the second compressed data block is smaller than the estimated size of the first compressed data block.

  • Publication number: 20180143840
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs upon system boot or application launch are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data used for booting a computer system; preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system; and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. In another aspect, a method for providing accelerated launching of an application program comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of application data associated with an application program; preloading the application data upon launching the application program; and servicing requests for application data from a computer system using the preloaded application data.

  • Patent number: 9792308
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing fast and efficient data compression using a combination of content dependent, content estimation, and content independent data compression. In one aspect of the disclosure a method for compressing data comprises the steps of: analyzing a data block of an input data stream to identify a data type of the data block, the input data stream comprising a plurality of disparate data types; performing content dependent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is identified; performing content estimation data compression if the content is estimable; and performing content independent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is not identified or estimable. In another aspect of the present invention LZDR compression is applied to simultaneously perform one method of compression while computing statistics useful in estimating the optimal form of compression to be applied.
