Technologies for performing speculative decompression

One or more non-transitory, machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a managed node, cause the managed node to:

• decode a variable size code at a present position in compressed data with a deterministic decoder and concurrently perform speculative decodes over a range of subsequent positions in the compressed data with one or more speculative decoders, wherein the subsequent positions are determined as a function of the present position and a determined smallest code size;
• determine a position of a next code by adding a size of the deterministically decoded code to the present position;
• determine whether the position of the next code is within the range;
• and
• output, in response to a determination that the position of the next code is within the range, a first symbol associated with the deterministically decoded code and a second symbol associated with a speculatively decoded code at the position of the next code.

A method for speculatively decompressing data, the method comprising:

• decoding, by a managed node, a variable size code at a present position in compressed data with a deterministic decoder and concurrently performing speculative decodes over a range of subsequent positions in the compressed data with one or more speculative decoders, wherein the range of subsequent positions are determined as a function of the present position and a determined smallest code size;
• determining, by the managed node, a position of a next code by adding a size of the deterministically decoded code to the present position;
• determining, by the managed node, whether the position of the next code is within the range;
• and
• outputting, by the managed node and in response to a determination that the position of the next code is within the range, a first symbol associated with the deterministically decoded code and a second symbol associated with a speculatively decoded code at the position of the next code.
