Looking for VCDIFF (RFC 3284) algorithm implemented in LabVIEW

[Piper984]

Hello forum,

I am looking to see if anyone knows of a publicly available implementation of the VCDIFF binary differencing algorithm in native LabVIEW (G) ? 

Here is a link to a paper on the RFC 3284 standard for those interested: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3284

There are a number of open source implementations in C/C++, but I would like to locate one in LabVIEW if possible.

Regards!

Implementing binary algorithmes in LabVIEW and especially compression algorithmes, while possibe is not a very smart idea. Aside from possible perfomance problems when you start to shuffle around on bit level, there is also the issue about how to proof the correctness of your implementation. Those open source C/C++ solutions have been used, peer reviewed and what else many times and all that has uncovered various flaws and bugs during the process.There is only a very small adience that will go and use your LabVIEW algorithme and even a much smaller one who is able to do any significant form of peer review.

So all in all you are likely to end up with a somewhat to almost working implementation that nobody is going to use, for the gain of bragging that you did it in LabVIEW.
