A data compression system for compressing input data and for supplying output data for transmission on a network, said data compression system comprising: (a) an array of memory cells having an array input, an array output and defining a look-ahead buffer and a history buffer, (b) a comparator array unit having first comparator input for accessing said input data in said array of memory cells, having a second comparator unit for accessing said one or more unprocessed data elements in said look-ahead buffer, and having a comparator output, (c) a control unit having a control input for determining from said resulting data signal whether a match between parts of all of said one or more unprocessed data elements in said look-ahead buffer and parts of or all of said input data in said array of memory cells exists or no match exists, said data compression system performing continuous supply to said network of said output data. <IMAGE> |
