Summary:Data compression systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed. For each successive input word of an input stream, it is determined whether the input word matches an entry in a lookback table. The lookback table is updated in response to the input word. Input words may be of a number of data types, including zero runs and full or partial matches with an entry in the lookback table. A codeword is generated by entropy encoding a data type corresponding to the input word. The lookback table may be indexed by the position of the input word in the input stream.
