Abstract: Data compression applications have exploded from simple disc file compression into a huge potential market for high speed compression chip sets, which can double or triple the data throughput in local or remote area networks and provide for build-in data encryption. Based on a new Autosophy Information Theory, data compression algorithms evolved from the old Huffman codes, via the Ziv Lemple codes, into highly efficient self-learning tree networks. We show how to design the compression chip sets, which may become standard parts in most future systems.
