Abstract
Data compression systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed. For each successive input word of an input stream, it is determined whether the input word matches an entry in a lookback table. The lookback table is updated in response to the input word. Input words may be of a number of data types, including zero runs and full or partial matches with an entry in the lookback table. A codeword is generated by entropy encoding a data type corresponding to the input word. The lookback table may be indexed by the position of the input word in the input stream.
