Publication number: 20140022100Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: Realtime Data LLC DBA IXOInventors: James J. FALLON, Paul F. Pickel, Stephen J. McErlain, Carlton J. Melone, 2nd

Publication number: 20130297575Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: Realtime Data LLC dba IXOInventors: James J. Fallon, Paul F. Pickel, Stephen J. Mcerlain, John Buck

Patent number: 8553759Abstract: Data compression and decompression methods for compressing and decompressing data based on an actual or expected throughput (bandwidth) of a system. In one embodiment, a controller tracks and monitors the throughput (data storage and retrieval) of a data compression system and generates control signals to enable/disable different compression algorithms when, e.g., a bottleneck occurs so as to increase the throughput and eliminate the bottleneck.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Realtime Data, LLCInventors: James J. Fallon, Stephen J. McErlain

Patent number: 8112619Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2006Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Realtime Data LLCInventors: James J.

Patent number: 8090936Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data; 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 a preferred embodiment, the boot data is retrieved from a boot device and stored in a cache memory device. In another aspect, a method for accelerated loading of an operating system comprises updating the list of boot data during the boot process, wherein updating comprises adding to the list any boot data requested by the computer system not previously stored in the list and/or removing from the list any boot data previously stored in the list and not requested by the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Realtime Data, LLCInventors: James J.
