Low-latency lossless compression codec design for high-throughput data-buses

Abstract

High-throughput data-bus systems are crucial for recent high-performance computing, especially for data intensive computing. The effective throughput can be improved by applying a lossless data compression with high-throughput codec. This paper proposes a lossless data compression codec using a simple context-base coding. Simulation results of compression ratio show that, compared to existing low-latency compression methods, the proposed method can achieve comparable compression ratios for many benchmark data sets with simple codec structure.
