Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments relate to providing a data stream interface for offloading the inflation/deflation processing of data to a stateless compression accelerator. An aspect includes transmitting a request to inflate or deflate a data stream to a compression accelerator. The request may include references to an input buffer for storing input data from the data stream, an output buffer for storing processed input data, and a state data control block for storing a stream state. The stream state is provided to the compression accelerator to continue processing the data stream responsive to the request being a subsequent request. The compression accelerator is instructed to store a current stream state in the state data control block responsive to the request being a non-final request. Accordingly, the current stream state is received from the compression accelerator responsive to the request being a non-final request. The processed input data is received from the compression accelerator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer system, comprising: an electronic memory having non-transitory computer readable computer instructions; and an electronic computer processor including an electronic host system having a host driver in electrical communication with an electronic compression accelerator that is excluded from the host system, the electronic computer processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions to perform a method comprising: transmitting a r…
