PARALLEL DECOMPRESSION MECHANISM

Abstract:

An apparatus to facilitate packing compressed data is disclosed. The apparatus includes compression hardware to compress memory data into a plurality of compressed data components and packing hardware to receive the plurality of compressed data components and pack a first of the plurality of compressed data components beginning at a least significant bit (LSB) location of a compressed bit stream and pack a second of the plurality of compressed data components beginning at a most significant bit (MSB) of the compressed bit stream.
