Data Storage And Compression
Muhtasari
A phone with 128 gibibytes of storage fills up faster than the number on the box suggests, and a photo saved as a JPEG is a fraction of the size of the same photo saved as a bitmap. Neither of these is a coincidence. They come from two ideas that sit behind almost everything a computer stores: the units used to measure data, and the algorithms used to shrink it.
In this lesson you will learn how to convert between binary and denary multiples of a byte, why files are compressed and the difference between doing so losslessly and lossily, how the run-length encoding algorithm compresses repetitive data, and how to calculate the storage a file will need before it is saved.
Malengo
- Understand how to use and convert between binary and denary multiples (bit, nibble, byte, kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, tebibyte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte)
- Understand the need for data compression and methods of compressing data (lossless, lossy), and that JPEG and MP3 are examples of lossy algorithms
- Understand how a lossless, run-length encoding (RLE) algorithm works
- Understand that file storage is measured in bytes and be able to calculate file sizes
