Study of huffman coding performance in linux and windows 10 IOT for different frameworks

Abstract

In undergraduate classes it is important to understand theoretical aspects in relation with practical laboratory applications. Rasp-berry Pi is a single board computer that is inexpensive and can be used to showcase the intended behavior. Huffman encoding is used in lossless data compression and is a good example for educational applications that target any operating system and can be easily implemented in Java and C#. This paper presents the implementation of Huffman algorithm on multiple frameworks (Oracle Java, OpenJDK Java, .NET Framework, Mono Framework, .Net Core Framework) in order to test its performance for Linux and Windows IoT.
