title: Data Compression Algorithms
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone has a list of data compression algorithms. I know basically nothing about data compression and I was hoping to learn more about different algorithms and see which ones are the newest and have yet to be developed on a lot of ASICs.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm hoping to implement a data compression ASIC which is independent of the type of data coming in (audio,video,images,etc.)</p>
  
  <p>If my question is too open ended, please let me know and I'll revise.  Thank you</p>
