Projects

GPU Compression

• Parallelized implementation of LZSS compression for the GPU.
• The goal of the project was to test feasibility of using message compression in HPC applications.
• Result: your network needs to be really bad for this to be worth anything.
• Implemented in CUDA and deployed on AWS.

ImgCompress

• ImgCompress is a hackathon project aimed at becoming the future of compression.
• Uploads binaries to Imgur as PNGs and stores the 7 character Imgur URL.
• Compression ratio is over 700 000 and implementation is less than 200 lines of python.
• Better than the CUDA stuff I made.
