COMPRESSION METADATA ASSISTED COMPUTATION

Abstract:

A method includes, in response to receiving an instruction to perform a first operation on first data stored in a memory device, obtaining first compression metadata from the memory device based on an address for the first data, and reducing a number of operations in a set of operations based on the first operation and one or more matching addresses, the one or more matching addresses corresponding to second compression metadata matching the first compression metadata.
