Some aspects of the disclosure relate to a pre-fetch mechanism for a cache line compression system that increases RAM capacity and optimizes overflow area reads. For example, a pre-fetch mechanism may allow the memory controller to pipeline the reads from an area with fixed size slots (main compressed area) and the reads from an overflow area. The overflow area is arranged so that a cache line most likely containing the overflow data for a particular line may be calculated by a decompression engine. In this manner, the cache line decompression engine may fetch, in advance, the overflow area before finding the actual location of the overflow data.

A method for retrieving compressed data, the method comprising:
