Data Compression for Network Performance Improvement with the Aid of Content-Addressable Memory

9361386斯托蒙这个项目是由美国国家科学基金会的小型企业创新研究计划资助的，该计划旨在为小型企业，特别是小型高科技公司提供参与国家科学基金会研究的机会。SBIR计划的第一阶段作为一个过滤器，选择有希望的提案，并确定公司是否能够进行高质量的研究。第二阶段是主要的研究项目。第三阶段是将NSF资助的研究转化为商业应用和技术创新，由后续的私人风险资本或其他非联邦资金支持。该第一阶段项目研究使用可编程内容可寻址存储器作为数据压缩/解压缩的有效硬件实现的可行性。该项目专注于网络应用所必需的无损压缩技术。*

9361386 Stormon This project is funded under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which is designed to provide an opportunity for small business, particularly the small high technology firm, to participate in NSF research. Phase I of the SBIR program serves as a filter to select promising proposals and determine if the firm can do high quality research. Phase II is the principal research project. Phase III is the conversion of the NSF-funded research into commercial applications and technological innovation supported by follow-on private venture capital or other non-federal financing. This Phase I project studies the feasibility of using a programm able content-addressable memory as an efficient hardware implementation of data compression/decompression. The project concentrates on the loss less compression techniques essential for network applications.***
