Abstract
Systems and methods for generating a representative value of a data set by first compressing a portion of values in the data set to determine a first common value and further compressing a subset of the portion of values to determine a second common value. The representative value is generated by taking the difference between the first common value and the second common value, wherein the representative value corresponds to a mathematical relationship between the first and second common values and each value within the subset of the portion of values. The representative value requires less storage than the first and second common values.
Claims20
One or more processors, comprising:
- circuitry to:
- decompress a plurality of compressed numbers based, at least in part, on one or more relationships between a first number common to each of the plurality of compressed numbers and one or more second numbers common to each number within a subset of the plurality of compressed numbers;
- and
- store the plurality of compressed numbers in a datastore based, at least in part, on one or more indicators of the one or more relationships between the first number and the one or more second numbers.
A method, comprising:
- decompressing a plurality of compressed numbers based, at least in part, on one or more relationships between a first number common to each of the plurality of compressed numbers and one or more second numbers common to each number within a subset of the plurality of compressed numbers;
- and
- storing the plurality of compressed numbers in a datastore based, at least in part, on one or more indicators of the one or more relationships between the first number and the one or more second numbers.
