Popis: The bit recycling compression technique has been introduced to minimize the redundancy caused by the multiplicity of encodings present in many compression techniques. It has achieved about 9% as a reduction in the size of the files compressed by Gzip. In prior work, we have proposed an arbitrary-precision technique to adapt bit recycling to arithmetic code instead of Huffman code. We have shown that this adaptation enables bit recycling to achieve better compression and a much wider applicability. We have also presented a theoretical analysis that estimates the average amount of data compression that can be achieved by this adaptation. In this paper, we propose the finite-precision version of this adaptation so that it can be implemented efficiently using conventional computer registers.
