Run Length Limited          (RLL) The most popular scheme for encoding data on       {magnetic disks}.   RLL packs up to 50% more data on a disk       than {MFM}.          {IBM} invented RLL encoding and used it in {mainframe} disk       drives.   During the late 1980s, {PC} hard disks began using       RLL.   Today, virtually every drive on the market uses some       form of RLL.          Groups of bits are mapped to specific patterns of flux.   The       density of flux transitions is limited by the spatial       resolution of the disk and frequency response of the head and       electronics.   However, transitions must be close enough to       allow reliable {clock recovery}.   RLL implementations vary       according to the minimum and maximum allowed numbers of       {transition cells} between transitions.   For example, the most       common variant today, RLL 1,7, can have a transition in every       other cell and must have at least one transition every seven       cells.   The exact mapping from bits to transitions is       essentially arbitrary.          Other schemes include {GCR}, {FM}, {Modified Frequency       Modulation} (MFM).   See also: {PRML}.          {(http://cma.zdnet.com/book/upgraderepair/ch14/ch14.htm)}.          (2003-08-12)

run-length encoding          A kind of {compression} {algorithm} which replaces sequences       ("runs") of consecutive repeated characters (or other units of       data) with a single character and the length of the run.   This       can either be applied to all input characters, including runs       of length one, or a special character can be used to introduce       a run-length encoded group.   The longer and more frequent the       runs are, the greater the compression that will be achieved.       This technique is particularly useful for encoding black and       white {image}s where the data units would be single bit       {pixel}s.          (1994-10-27)
