Abstract :
A compression algorithm that is tailored to utilize the enormous speed and memory size of supercomputers is presented. It utilizes an enhanced arithmetic coding scheme. Efficient VLSI designs for the enhanced scheme are given. The designs are suitable for inclusion in disk and communication controllers of supercomputers and would provide a practical way to increase thresholds of data transfer rates and communication bandwidth effectively
