Abstract
In one of many possible embodiments, a system for optimizing bit utilization in data encoding is provided. The exemplary system includes a data processing subsystem configured to identify a total number of unique characters within a set of data, which number represents an original base of representation of the set of data. The data processing subsystem is further configured to convert the set of data to a base of representation that is higher than the original base of representation and then encode the base-converted data with a fixed-length encoding scheme.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a data source configured to provide a set of data;
- and
- a data processing subsystem communicatively coupled to said data source and configured to
- identify a total number of unique characters within said set of data, said set of data having an original base of representation equal to said total number of unique characters;
- convert said set of data to a higher base of representation, said higher base of representation being greater in value than said original base of representation;
- and
- encode said base-converted data with a fixed-length encoding scheme.
A method comprising:
- identifying a total number of unique characters within a set of data, said set of data having an original base of representation equal to said total number of unique characters;
- converting said set of data to a higher base of representation, said higher base of representation being greater in value than said original base of representation;
- and
- encoding said base-converted data with a fixed-length encoding scheme.
