Use lossless data compression in embedded systems DATA COMPRESSION

Many of today’s embedded systems are providing more sophisticated solutions to a wide variety of applications and industries. With this increase in sophistication, there is a corresponding increase in the amount of data being collected and stored. This rise in data volume is placing even more emphasis on design solutions that need to meet stringent performance requirements while staying within cost targets. Collecting and storing large amounts of data can create a number of technical challenges. In addition, the embedded system itself can become overtaxed by the increased burden imposed by processing large amounts of data. Faced with the issues of collecting and storing data, embedded system designers are finding data compression as a viable means of dealing with large amounts of data.
