Method and apparatus for speculative decompression

An apparatus and method for performing parallel decoding of prefix codes such as Huffman codes. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a first decompression module to perform a non-speculative decompression of a first portion of a prefix code payload comprising a first plurality of s...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for performing parallel decoding of prefix codes such as Huffman codes. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a first decompression module to perform a non-speculative decompression of a first portion of a prefix code payload comprising a first plurality of symbols; and a second decompression module to perform speculative decompression of a second portion of the prefix code payload comprising a second plurality of symbols concurrently with the non-speculative decompression performed by the first compression module.
