Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for compressing data. An exemplary method may comprise interleaving one or more literal length fields with one or more literal fields to an output. The literal fields may contain a first data segment literally copied to the output, and each of the one or more literal length fields may contain a value representing a length of a succeeding literal field. The method may further comprise determining a second data segment being matched to a previously literally copied sequence of data and a match position and writing to the output one or more match length fields and a match position field containing the match position. The literal length fields may contain a total length of the first data segment and the match length fields may contain a total length of the second data segment.
