Abstract
A mechanism is described for facilitating selective skipping of compression cycles in computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating determining a first current output relating to compression of a current set of data to be same as a previous output from compression of a previous set of data, and turning off a compression engine to skip compression of the current set of data.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- comparison/prediction logic, as facilitated by or at least partially incorporated into a processor, to determine a first current output relating to compression of a current set of data to be same as a previous output from compression of a previous set of data;
- and
- application/execution logic, as facilitated by or at least partially incorporated into the processor, to turn off a compression engine to skip compression of the current set of data.
A method comprising:
- determining a first current output relating to compression of a current set of data to be same as a previous output from compression of a previous set of data;
- and
- turning off a compression engine to skip compression of the current set of data.
At least one machine-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- determining a first current output relating to compression of a current set of data to be same as a previous output from compression of a previous set of data;
- and
- turning off a compression engine to skip compression of the current set of data.
