Abstract
A data compression method is disclosed which involves obtaining a plurality of data blocks, each data block comprising a plurality of data values. The method performs base-delta encoding of the obtained plurality of data blocks, wherein a delta value means a difference between a data value and a base value. This involves determining, among the data values of the plurality of data blocks, a set of global base values common to said plurality of data blocks. The set of global base values is selected to minimize delta values for the data values of the plurality of data blocks with respect to the global base values in said set of global base values. The method further involve encoding individual data values of the plurality of data blocks by selecting, in the set of global base values, for each individual data value a global base value that is numerically closest to the individual data value and thus results in a smallest delta value, and then generating metadata for the encoded individual data value to represent the selected global base value and the resulting delta value.
