Abstract
An electronic device for compressing data includes a compression unit, a search engine, and a compression controller. The search engine includes a first buffer, a second buffer, and a plurality of comparators configured to perform matching between data stored in the first buffer and data stored in the second buffer. The compression controller is configured to determine a structure of the search engine, adjust a connection between the first buffer and the second buffer based on the determined structure and cause the compression unit to perform compression on target data using the search engine.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a compression unit;
- a search engine comprising a first buffer, a second buffer, and a plurality of comparators configured to perform matching between data stored in the first buffer and data stored in the second buffer;
- and
- a compression controller configured to determine a structure of the search engine, adjust a connection between the first buffer and the second buffer based on the determined structure and cause the compression unit to perform compression on target data using the search engine.
An electronic device comprising:
- a host processor configured to provide a compression command for target data subject to compression;
- and
- a compression controller configured to determine a structure of a search engine, adjust a connection between a first buffer and a second buffer included in the search engine based on information related to compression determined based on the target data upon receipt of the compression command from the host processor, and cause a compression unit to perform compression on the target data subject to compression using the search engine.
An operation method of an electronic device, the operation method comprising:
- determining a structure of a search engine comprising a first buffer, a second buffer, and a plurality of comparators configured to match data stored in the first buffer with data stored in the second buffer;
- adjusting a connection between the first buffer and the second buffer based on the determined structure;
- and
- causing a compression unit to perform compression on target data subject to compression using the search engine.
