Compressor

Server based compressor created in c. Developed by Zach Clewell and Aditya Pillai

Purpose

Developed as a way to gain experience with networking as well as multithreaded applications

Use Case

1. User uploads file to be compressed to server instance
2. Server makes a local copy of this file
3. Server runs several compression alogrithms in parallel
4. Server selects most efficient algorithm and sends compressed file back to client

Algorithms Used

We did not design these algorithms however we did implement them ourselves

• Huffman Encoding
• LZW
• Run Length

Libraries Used

glib - Imported data types so we didn't have to write them ourselves
