Compression/De-Compression

 

GZIP/GUNZIP compression/decompression is fast becoming the industry standard for lossless data compression.

GZIP is a very common compression in many applications as it significantly reduces the size of data while maintaining the original files unchanged.

(This is in contrast to graphic applications, which use lossy compression methods such as Jpeg and Mpeg ).

 

GZIP/GUNZIP applications include:

 

  • Data storage backup devices,

  • HTTP web servers,

  • Point to point or point to multi-point communications.

IP-GZIP HW

 IP - GZIP HW Accelerator

Highlights:

  • Static Huffman compression core  history buffer size = 256

  • Standard cells implementation - without ROM or SRAM

Main Features:

  • Synthesizable Verilog soft core suitable for FPGA and ASIC implementations.

  • RFC1951 (Deflate)  and RFC1952 (GZIP) compliance

  • Fully Pipelined implementation for maximum performance

  • Multi-threaded: files can be compressed in parts, by performing concurrent compression of several files by several threads.

  • Streaming data interface which enables maximum performance and integration flexibility.​

Performance:

  • Throughput: 1 input byte per clock cycle.

  • Very small latency: 20 clock cycles. 

  • No delay between subsequent files.

  • Compression speed (single core):

    • ASIC (TSMC 40nm lp): 800MHz gives a sustained compression speed of 6.5 Gbps.

    • FPGA: 480MHz on Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ gives a sustained compression speed of 4 Gbps.

    • More than 100Gbps with multiple cores instantiation.

  • More than 100Gbps using parallel instantiation of several cores.
