I’ve heard on the news that my fellow Serb invented an algorythm that can compress images and sounds at 1:30,000 ratio!!!
That’d mean hundreds of high-res images on a single floppy disk. I’ve not seen anything about it on the Internet, but it’s been maybe a week or two since he talked about it. I think it was on some IT expo or something…
He also mentioned some 3D renderer that’s much faster then anything that had been released (DirectX, OpenGL) and works on 386 machines much fasted than the current ones work on a P4…
As for ordinary data compression, 7-zip seems to have the highest ratio yet at circa 1:64. It’s pretty damn slow, too. It takes about a day and a half to compress 4Gb of data om my 1GHz Celleron with 256Mb RAM. It yields quite a small file, tho (if I remember correctly, about 800Mb).
If anyone digs somehting up on this topic, let us all know.
