Abstract: An apparatus to implement Huffman decoding in an INFLATE process in a compression engine. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a bit buffer, a set of comparators, and a lookup table. The bit buffer stores a portion of a compressed data stream. The set of comparators compares the portion of the compressed data stream with a plurality of predetermined values. The lookup table stores a plurality of LZ77 code segments and out puts one of the LZ77 code segments corresponding to an index at least partially derived from a comparison result from the set of comparators.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for optimal packet flow in a multi-processor system on a chip. In operation, a credit is allocated for each of a plurality of agents coupled to a messaging network, the allocating including reserving one or more entries in a receive queue of at least one of the plurality of agents. Additionally, a first credit is decremented in response to a first agent sending a message to a second agent, the plurality of agents including the first and second agents. Furthermore, one of the first credit or a second credit is incremented in response to a signal from the second agent.

Abstract: An apparatus to implement a deflate process in a compression engine. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a hash table, a dictionary, comparison logic, and encoding logic.
