Re: [[oc] Huffman coding]

[Andras FERENCZ<aferencz@usa.net>]

Hi,

I haven't got leads regarding the hardware implementation, but I still recall
(some of) the theory presented at the university.
I might be interested to participate in the design of such a block, but there
are some issues:
- what kind of practical use of it do you see ?
- at encoding you must parse the data twice, to build the statistics and the
dictionary and for the second time to do the encoding itself (i.e. streaming
is excluded); for the decoding part if you got the dictionary first, the
decoding could be implemented on the fly 
- you have to pass the encoded data AND the dictionary

Cheers,
Andras
