High-Performance Lossless Compression Core

Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data.

LZR2 implements the lossless compression /decompression algorithm. Typical applications include enterprise data storage.

The design is fully synchronous and available in multiple configurations varying in bus widths and throughput.

LZR2 delivers sustained (gapless) throughput of 8 bits per clock on the decompressed side or about 1-2.5 Gbps of throughput in FPGA and 4-6 Gbps in ASIC implementations. The compression ratio greatly depends on the data and somewhat depends on the frames size; on typical file corpuses varies between 1.5 and 2..
