I love it! I just wish somebody can make a GPU based compression library (doesn't have to be gzip or bzip), every mobile device today is shipping with a GPU, there are some techniques out there like this (http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2014/presentations/S4459-parallel-lossless-compression-using-gpus.pdf http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2014/presentations/S445...), but I am still waiting for a solid implementation.
- yzh 10y agoYou may find work from my colleagues interesting: Parallel Lossless Data Compression on the GPU: http://www.idav.ucdavis.edu/publications/print_pub?pub_id=1087 http://www.idav.ucdavis.edu/publications/print_pub?pub_id=10... Fast Parallel Suffix Array on the GPU: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/83r7w305 http://escholarship.org/uc/item/83r7w305 I think built on top of the second paper (suffix array paper), there should be fast compression library. We have one implementation in our library CUDPP 2.0, you can try it out if you like: https://github.com/cudpp/cudpp/blob/master/src/cudpp/app/sa_app.cu https://github.com/cudpp/cudpp/blob/master/src/cudpp/app/sa_...

- snark42 10y agoDoesn't transferring all the data to/from the GPU kill any potential speedup the GPU may offer?
