  • Patent number: 11669526
    Abstract: Representative embodiments are disclosed for a rapid and highly parallel decompression of compressed executable and other files, such as executable files for operating systems and applications, having compressed blocks including run length encoded (“RLE”) data having data-dependent references. An exemplary embodiment includes a plurality of processors or processor cores to identify a start or end of each compressed block; to partially decompress, in parallel, a selected compressed block into independent data, dependent (RLE) data, and linked dependent (RLE) data; to sequence the independent data, dependent (RLE) data, and linked dependent (RLE) data from a plurality of partial decompressions of a plurality of compressed blocks, to obtain data specified by the dependent (RLE) data and linked dependent (RLE) data, and to insert the obtained data into a corresponding location in an uncompressed file.
