D. Best Algorithms by Deduplication Ratio

The following table lists the best algorithm configurations with regard to the deduplication ratio. The list is sorted by the average temporal deduplication ratio (last column). All values are deduplication ratios (ratio:1).

    Hi,

    I would love to see a ebook version of your thesis (epub or mobi). Would that be possible ?

    thanks
