Also, what does the High Availability in the name of the codec refer to?

I've searched the web and found not a single mention of "high availability" in the context of audio codecs. In fact, the top-ranked result was this very post, which doesn't explain what the term is intended to mean.

Sounds like a retronym for the author’s initials :-)

Great detection :)

I wasn't really careful when making this naming. I just tried to make it a little different. I can't say that I'm successful in nomenclature.

If you need some retronym, how about "highly astute ..." or "highly apt ..."?

I will evaluate them.

It uses less resources, so the resource retains higher availability?

HALAC and HALIC really consume very little memory. The process speed is high at the same rate. And they offer a reasonable compression rate. Therefore, they can be used at high level and different areas.
