Accelerating Compression Algorithms for Faster Cloud and Edge Applications

What’s the best data compression algorithm for your application? ZLIB, Google* LZ4, LZO, BZIP2? This webinar covers this and more, exploring the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) tool that includes a specialized domain of highly-optimized, lossless data compression features, and new features—LZ4 data compression and decompression and Elliptic Curve cryptography functions, optimization for GraphicsMagick source code, and Intel® AVX-512 and Intel® AVX2 optimizations.

Intel IPP provides developers with ready-to-use, processor-optimized functions to accelerate image, signal, data processing, and cryptography computation tasks. Multi-core, multi-OS, and multi-platform ready, Intel IPP plugin-and-use APIs quickly improve application performance, and reduces prototype-to-product time. Dive deep into these subjects:

  • Data compression use cases and applications.
  • Benefits of replacing ZLIB1.2X with Intel IPP ZLIB, netting significant performance improvement with less compression ratio.
  • Intel IPP BZIP features, including compressing data once on the server side, and decompression multiple times on the client side.

Be sure to download Intel IPP—one of five free Intel® Performance Libraries.
