GPU Friendly Data Compression - GPU Technology Conference

Motivation• There are tons of methods out there, why re-invent the wheel?• Some methods are „seriously serial“– Huffman Code, LZ* family, arithmetic coding• Some methods do not have easy random-access– Wavelets, DCT,...• Some methods do not go well with HW interpolation– Vector quantization• Some methods do not offer enough rate-distortion trade-off– DXT, PVRTC,...King Abdullah University of Science and Technology3
