Weissman score

The Weissman score is a performance metric for lossless compression applications. It was developed by Tsachy Weissman, a professor at Stanford University, and Vinith Misra, a graduate student, at the request of producers for HBO's television series Silicon Valley, a television show about a fictional tech start-up working on a data compression algorithm. It compares both required time and compression ratio of measured applications, with those of a de facto standard according to the data type. The formula is the following; where r is the compression ratio, T is the time required to compress, the overlined ones are the same metrics for a standard compressor, and alpha is a scaling constant. Weissman score has been used by Daniel Reiter Horn and Mehant Baid of Dropbox to explain real-world work on lossless compression. According to the authors it "favors compression speed over ratio in most cases." (Wikipedia).

Steve Jablonsky - Trailblazing

Another great music score from Steve Jablonsky. Note: This soundtrack is NOT from the Pearl Harbor Film. I could not find a suitable picture for this score way back in 2008; it was hardly used anywhere, if at all, at that time. So I decided to just use the Pearl Harbor one; it does f
