  • Patent number: 9094038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to data compression and decompression, and particularly relates to a method and an apparatus for compressing and decompressing signal data. In an embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed a method for compressing signal data, comprising: obtaining signal data; determining block lengths of a plurality of data blocks into which the signal data are divided, and determining exponents of the data blocks; forming a mantissa sequence of the data block by using the exponent of the data block to compress signal data contained in the data block; and forming a compressed data block by using the block length, the exponent and the mantissa sequence of the data block. By constructing a variable-length data block adapted to dynamic characteristics of signal data, the method for compressing signal data of the present invention increases the compression ratio of signal data.

  • Publication number: 20140040702
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of managing a storage array. The method comprises: striping the storage array to form a plurality of stripes; selecting F storage chunks from each stripe as local parity chunks, and selecting another L storage chunks from the storage array as global parity chunks; performing (F+L) fault tolerant erasure coding on all data chunks in a stripe to generate (F+L) groups of parity data, and storing F groups of parity data therein into the F local parity chunks; performing cross-stripe operation on another L groups of parity data to generate L groups of global parity data, and storing them into the L global parity chunks, respectively. The apparatus corresponds to the method. With the invention, a plurality of errors in the storage array can be detected and/or recovered to improve fault tolerance and space utilization of the storage array.
