Overview

The high performance compression IPhere compresses at the line rate of 16Gbps in ASIC or up to 64 Gbps for custom implementations. This compression engine can be used in SSD controllers or Enterprise Storage.

Key features

  • Implements a LZ77 variant algorithm
  • High performance capabilities, meaning the highest compression ratio for a given search buffer size. It delivers 1.5 times more compression compared to the most popular hardware compression algorithm, LZW.
  • High throughput of 16Gbps is achieved in ASIC. However, with custom implementations the compression throughput can be as high as 64Gbps.
  • Low latency is achieved by designing the engine in two pipe stages. The first pipe stage is referred to as the "Search" pipe in which the search for the longest match string takes place. The second pipe stage is the "Post Processor" used to output unmatched characters and length/offset pairs.

Benefits

  • Advantages of compression in SSD and enterprise storage is well known. In terms of SSD, it allows for better Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), more space, an increase in lifespan and more bandwidth. For enterprise storage, compression increases disk capacity and performance. The major challenge in designing compression / decompression for Solid State Devices (SSDs) and enterprise storage is the reduction in performance due to latency and throughput. This low latency and high throughput design helps resolve the issues listed above.

Evaluating Lossless Data Compression Algorithms and Cores

Data compression plays a critical role in modern computing, enabling efficient storage and faster transmission of information. Among lossless data compression algorithms, GZIP, ZSTD, LZ4, and Snappy have emerged as prominent contenders, each offering unique trade-offs in terms of compression ratio, speed, and resource utilization. This white paper evaluates these algorithms and their corresponding hardware cores, providing an in-depth comparison to help developers and system architects choose the optimal solution for their specific use case.

Firmware Compression for Lower Energy and Faster Boot in IoT Devices

The phrase “IoT” for Internet of Things has exploded to cover a wide range of different applications and diverse devices with very different requirements. Most observers, however, would agree that low energy consumption is a key element for IoT, as many of these devices must run on batteries or harvest energy from the environment.
