Samsung patents faster data decompression using parallel processing
Samsung describes a method for uncompressing data by splitting it into smaller blocks. The system identifies blocks that are small enough to be processed independently and runs them simultaneously to speed up the overall operation.
In the filing’s own words
A method and system for optimized data decompression using parallel block processing are provided. A method of performing data decompression includes: receiving compressed input data including blocks; based on the compressed input data, for each of the blocks, determining a corresponding literal length and a corresponding match length; determining first blocks, each of whose literal length and match length are each less than a threshold; identifying consecutive independent blocks from among the first blocks; and decompressing the compressed input data by parallelly processing, with respect to each other, each of the consecutive input blocks.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method of performing data decompression, the method comprising: receiving compressed input data comprising blocks; based on the compressed input data, for each of the blocks, determining a corresponding literal length and a corresponding match length; determining first blocks, each of whose literal length and match length are each less than a threshold; identifying consecutive independent blocks from among the first blocks; and decompressing the compressed input data by parallelly processing, with respect to each other, each of the consecutive input blocks.
