Draft:NTK Ultra-Compression

Submission declined on 28 May 2025 by KylieTastic (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

NTK Ultra-Compression is a free and open-source file compression software developed by Nathan Pelletti, Thomas Demesse, Keany Vy Khun and Litissia Ben Mohand, designed to achieve maximal data reduction without time constraints. It is intended for users who need to store or share large files—such as software, video games, or databases—where every byte saved is valuable. The software is written in Rust for performance and safety, and is distributed under the BSD 3-Clause License.

NTK Ultra-Compression introduces a disruptive approach to data compression, focusing on maximizing compression ratio rather than minimizing processing time. Unlike traditional tools such as ZIP or 7z, which balance speed and efficiency, NTK Ultra-Compression prioritizes algorithmic optimization to minimize file size, even if this results in longer processing times.

The software is cross-platform and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Licensing

NTK Ultra-Compression is released under the BSD 3-Clause License, which allows for broad use, modification, and distribution, including in proprietary products, provided that copyright notices and disclaimers are maintained.

Operation

NTK Ultra-Compression employs advanced compression algorithms, including dynamic dictionary methods and potentially machine learning techniques, to achieve superior compression rates. The software adopts an asymmetric compression model: compression may be computationally intensive and time-consuming, but decompression remains fast and efficient. This approach enables the use of complex methods, such as spectral analysis or neural tangent kernel-inspired algorithms, which are typically excluded from real-time compression tools due to their computational demands.

The native file format, .ntk, is specifically designed for this project. Although technical details are still evolving, the format aims to surpass existing standards like ZIP or RAR in terms of compression ratio, while preserving data integrity. The format also supports optional encryption and metadata preservation.

Graphical Interface

A graphical user interface (GUI) is available for NTK Ultra-Compression, facilitating access to its features for users who prefer not to use command-line tools. The GUI is available for major desktop platforms.

Applications

NTK Ultra-Compression addresses several key use cases:

Large File Sharing: Enables the transfer of files that would otherwise be difficult to share due to their size, reducing bandwidth and transfer times.
Long-term Archiving: Optimizes storage space for archival purposes, reducing costs and improving the preservation of large datasets.
Industry Use: Particularly beneficial for sectors such as video game development, software distribution, and big data analytics, where storage efficiency and data transfer are critical.

Technical Innovations

Time-Unconstrained Compression: Focuses on maximizing compression efficiency, regardless of the time required for processing.
Rust Implementation: Leverages Rust’s performance and memory safety features to ensure robust and secure operation.
Algorithmic Flexibility: Allows for the integration of advanced and experimental algorithms, including those inspired by machine learning and signal processing.

Output Formats

NTK Ultra-Compression primarily uses the .ntk format, which is designed to be extensible and support future enhancements. The format can be embedded in PNG images for steganographic purposes, and supports optional encryption for secure storage and transmission4.
