Abstract:
General-purpose lossless data compression and decompression ("(de)compression") are used widely in hyperscale systems and are key "datacenter taxes". However, designing optimal hardware compression and decompression processing units ("CDPUs") is challenging due to the variety of algorithms deployed, input data characteristics, and evolving costs of CPU cycles, network bandwidth, and memory/storage capacities.
