Provider

ZeroPoint Technologies AB
HQ: Sweden
ZeroPoint Technologies is a fabless silicon IP (intellectual property) provider of real-time main memory compression and encryption technology. ZeroPoint Technologies is offering a patented memory compression technology for high performance System on a Chip (SoC) processor subsystems. The technology effectively doubles the main memory capacity and memory bandwidth. Our IP-block is placed on the main memory access path and is transparent to the operating system and applications. ZeroPoint also offers main memory encryption, a technology that delivers high throughput and high security memory encryption, integrated with compression or stand alone. ZeroPoint Technologies AB was incorporated in 2015 as a spinout from Chalmers University of Technology. The Intellectual Property Portfolio related to computer memory management was then acquired from the founders and transferred into the new startup. The technology and ideas behind ZeroPoint come from Professor Per Stenström’s research group, which is internationally recognized for research excellence within high-performance computing. Since its creation, ZeroPoint has attracted skilled people from academia, industry, finance and the startup community and raised its first round of Venture Capital in 2016. The headquarter is in Göteborg, Sweden.

Evaluating Lossless Data Compression Algorithms and Cores

Data compression plays a critical role in modern computing, enabling efficient storage and faster transmission of information. Among lossless data compression algorithms, GZIP, ZSTD, LZ4, and Snappy have emerged as prominent contenders, each offering unique trade-offs in terms of compression ratio, speed, and resource utilization. This white paper evaluates these algorithms and their corresponding hardware cores, providing an in-depth comparison to help developers and system architects choose the optimal solution for their specific use case.

Firmware Compression for Lower Energy and Faster Boot in IoT Devices

The phrase “IoT” for Internet of Things has exploded to cover a wide range of different applications and diverse devices with very different requirements. Most observers, however, would agree that low energy consumption is a key element for IoT, as many of these devices must run on batteries or harvest energy from the environment.

IP Core for an H.264 Decoder SoC

This paper presents the development of an IP core for an H.264 decoder. This state-of-the-art video compression standard contributes to reduce the huge demand for bandwidth and storage of multimedia applications. The IP is CoreConnect compliant and implements the modules with high performance constraints.
