LZW compression and decompression in vhdl

  • Follow


Hi, can somebody help me to find an implementation of
LZW compression/decompression algorithm in VHDL?

Thanks a lot.

I'd be surprised to see anything for free.  I was working on an LZW style 
algorithm for my employer because there just isn't much out there that you 
can get without paying big $$ to the big players in IP.  I found later 
another internal group in our 50k+ employee company also developed an LZW 
style algorithm for their ASIC work.

You might be able to find the algorithm for big money.

LZW is a memory-hungry scheme and will take up a large chunk of your memory 
resources especially if you have more than one stream.  Interoperability is 
another issue if you expect to work with other "standard" LZW schemes as 
opposed to something proprietary.  I can understand why there wasn't 
anything out there when I was developing the algorithm for a proprietary, 
closed system.  It's still a push for me to consider it in the newest 
generation of low cost FPGAs.
