Abstract: A system and method including one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms is disclosed. A first asymmetric data compression algorithm of the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms compresses data at a higher data compression rate than a second asymmetric data compression algorithm of the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms. The system and method also include one or more processors that determine one or more data parameters from one or more data blocks and select one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms from among the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms based upon, at least in part, the determined one or more data parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for compressing data is disclosed. The system and method include one or more data compression algorithms with at least one data compression algorithm from among the one or more data compression algorithms utilizing an asymmetric data compression. The system and method determine a type of data having one or more parameters, attributes, or values of the data from at least a portion of a data block; select one or more data compression algorithms from among the one or more data compression algorithms based upon the determined type of data and a throughput of a communications channel; and perform data compression with the selected one or more data compression algorithms on at least the portion of the data block.
