Abstract
Data compression and decompression methods for compressing and decompressing data based on an actual or expected throughput (bandwidth) of a system. In one embodiment, a controller tracks and monitors the throughput (data storage and retrieval) of a data compression system and generates control signals to enable/disable different compression algorithms when, e.g., a bottleneck occurs so as to increase the throughput and eliminate the bottleneck.
Claims1
A method for providing bandwidth sensitive data compression in a data processing system, the method comprising the steps of:
- compressing data using a first compression routine providing a first compression rate;
- tracking the throughput of the data processing system to determine if the first compression rate provides a throughput that meets a predetermined throughput threshold;
- and
- compressing data using a second compression routine providing a second compression rate that is greater than the first compression rate, if the tracked throughput does not meet the predetermined throughput threshold.
