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

9361386 Stormon该项目由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）小企业创新研究（SBIR）计划资助，该计划旨在为小企业，特别是小型高科技公司提供参与NSF研究的机会。 SBIR计划的第一阶段作为一个过滤器，以选择有前途的建议，并确定该公司是否可以做高质量的研究。 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，并由后续私人风险资本或其他非联邦融资支持。 这个第一阶段的项目研究的可行性，使用可编程的内容寻址存储器作为一个有效的硬件实现的数据压缩/解压缩。 该项目集中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.***
