Methods and apparatuses relating to stateful compression and decompression operations are described. In one embodiment, hardware processor includes a core to execute a thread and offload at least one of a compression and decompression thread, and a hardware compression and decompression accelerator to execute the at least one of the compression and decompression thread to consume input and generate output data, wherein the hardware compression and decompression accelerator is coupled to a plurality of input buffers to store the input data, a plurality of output buffers to store the output data, an input buffer descriptor array with an entry for each respective input buffer, an input buffer response descriptor array with a corresponding response entry for each respective input buffer, an output buffer descriptor array with an entry for each respective output buffer, and an output buffer response descriptor array with a corresponding response entry for each respective output buffer.

Hardware accelerators and methods for stateful compression and decompression operations

Technologies for reducing connection time to a wireless access point includes recording wireless connection information in a log, computing parameters as a function of past wireless connection information in the log, generating an ordered list of wireless access points most likely to be available for reconnection at a desired time as a function of recent wireless connection information in the log, and directly probing a wireless access point instead of initiating a wireless access point scan. In some embodiments, computing parameters as a function of past wireless connection information in the log comprises performing genetic programming operations to generate prediction programs for later prediction of wireless access points most likely to be available for reconnection at a desired time.
