Abstract
A method may include obtaining input data to be compressed by a compression operation. The method may also include obtaining metadata associated with the input data to be compressed by the compression operation. The method may further include determining a data threshold of the input data and the metadata to be compressed by the compression operation. The method may also include preprocessing the metadata. The method may further include arranging the input data and the metadata based on the data threshold. The method may also include performing the compression operation on the arranged input data and the arranged metadata.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining input data to be compressed by a compression operation;
- obtaining metadata associated with the input data, to be compressed by the compression operation;
- determining a data threshold using the input data and the metadata;
- preprocessing the metadata;
- arranging the input data based on the data threshold and arranging the metadata based on the arranged input data;
- and
- performing the compression operation on the arranged input data and the arranged metadata.
A system, comprising:
- a host device, configured to:
- obtain input data to be compressed by a compression operation;
- obtain metadata associated with the input data, to be compressed by the compression operation;
- determine a data threshold using the input data and the metadata;
- preprocess the metadata;
- arrange the input data based on the data threshold and arranging the metadata based on the arranged input data;
- and
- transmit the arranged input data and the arranged metadata to a compression device;
- and
- the compression device, configured to perform the compression operation on the arranged input data and the arranged metadata.
