Abstract
Compression blocks are divided into partitions creating a two dimensional divide of the compression blocks by slicing the compression blocks forming a first dimension and sub-partitioning the compression blocks into the partitions forming a second dimension. Each one of the partitions are compressed in separate compression streams.
Claims21
A method for data compression using compression blocks and partitions by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:
- creating a two dimensional divide of the compression blocks by slicing the compression blocks forming a first dimension and sub-partitioning the compression blocks into the partitions forming a second dimension, wherein each one of the partitions are compressed in separate compression streams.
A system for data compression using compression blocks and partitions in a computing environment, comprising:
- a processor device, operable in the computing storage environment, wherein the processor device:
- creates a two dimensional divide of the compression blocks by slicing the compression blocks forming a first dimension and sub-partitioning the compression blocks into the partitions forming a second dimension, wherein each one of the partitions are compressed in separate compression streams.
A computer program product for data compression using compression blocks and partitions in a computing environment by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first executable portion that creates a two dimensional divide of the compression blocks by slicing the compression blocks forming a first dimension and sub-partitioning the compression blocks into the partitions forming a second dimension, wherein each one of the partitions are compressed in separate compression streams.
