For this reason, when developing very advanced applications that would require to make multiple algorithm calls on very large sized arrays, it seems quite beneficial to use CUDA to implement parallel programming on the GPU in order to decrease the stress on other hardware as well as minimize the execution time for the algorithms.
=== LZW Data Compression and Decompression ===
Data compression is the process of reducing the number of bits required to store data. Compression can be lossless, which means there is little to no loss of data and lossy where there can be data lost. Files compressed using loss-less compression can be decompressed to to produce the original file in its entirety.
LZW is a dynamic dictionary method.
Dictionary methods substitute codes for common strings from a table or dictionary. A dictionary code may be, fixed, static or dynamic. In the fixed case, the dictionary is specified as part of the algorithm. In the static case, the compressor analyzes the input, constructs a dictionary, and transmits it to the decompresser. In the dynamic case, both the compressor and decompresser construct identical dictionaries from past data using identical algorithms.
LZW starts with a dictionary of 256 1-byte symbols. It parses the input into the longest possible strings that match a dictionary entry, then replaces the string with its index. After each encoding, that string plus the byte that follows it is added to the dictionary. For example, if the input is ABCABCABCABC then the encoding is as follows:
65 = A (add AB to dictionary as code 256)
66 = B (add BC as 257)
67 = C (add CA as 258)
256 = AB (add ABC as 259)
258 = CA (add CAB as 260)
257 = BC (add BCA 261)
259 = ABC (end of input)
