Google Tech Talk at KNU: Gipfeli Compression

We invite you to come learn about Google and meet some of our Googlers at this exciting event. If you’re interested in attending, please complete the Registration form https://goo.gl/xpOvX6 so that we can better prepare. Tech talk abstract: In the tech talk we will tell you about an intern project with impact all around Google. Gipfeli is a high-speed compression algorithm that uses backward references enriched with an ad-hoc entropy coding. The compression ratio is similar to the fastest mode of .zip compression format, but Gipfeli is more than three times faster. This positions it as an ideal solution for many bandwidth-bound systems, intermediate data storage and parallel computations. Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. It's an enormous goal to accomplish and we need great people to help us achieve it.
