摘要
A highly programmable device, referred to generally as a data processing unit, having multiple processing units for processing streams of information, such as network packets or storage packets, is described. The data processing unit includes one or more specialized hardware accelerators configured to perform acceleration for various data-processing functions. This disclosure describes a hardware-based programmable data compression accelerator for the data processing unit including a pipeline for performing string substitution. The disclosed string substitution pipeline, referred to herein as a “search block,” is configured to perform string search and replacement functions to compress an input data stream. In some examples, the search block is a part of a compression process performed by the data compression accelerator. The search block may support single and multi-thread processing, and multiple levels of compression effort. In order to achieve high-throughput, the search block processes multiple input bytes per clock cycle per thread.
