US Patent 10230392 Techniques for parallel data decompression

Techniques and apparatus for parallel decompression are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus to provide parallel decompression may include at least one memory and logic for a decompression component, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to determine decompression information of a compressed data unit, annotate the compressed data unit with at least a portion of the decompression information to generate an annotated data unit, parallel-decode the annotated data unit to generate a plurality of intermediate elements, and decode and merge the plurality of intermediate elements to generate a decompressed data unit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
