Data compression in a data transform accelerator

Abstract

A method includes obtaining, by a data transform accelerator, a first command and first source data associated with the first command. The method also includes generating, by the data transform accelerator, one or more containers using the first command. Each of the one or more containers may have a container size and may be operable to store compressed source data. The method further includes obtaining a mode of operation for a data compression operation. The method also includes performing the data compression operation to a first portion of the first source data using the mode of operation to obtain the compressed source data. The method further includes storing the compressed source data in a first container of the one or more containers.
