Abstract
Aspects for generating compressed data streams with lookback pre-fetch instructions are disclosed. A data compression system is provided and configured to receive and compress an uncompressed data stream as part of a lookback-based compression scheme. The data compression system determines if a current data block was previously compressed. If so, the data compression system is configured to insert a lookback instruction corresponding to the current data block into the compressed data stream. Each lookback instruction includes a lookback buffer index that points to an entry in a lookback buffer where decompressed data corresponding to the data block will be stored during a separate decompression scheme. Once the data blocks have been compressed, the data compression system is configured to move a lookback buffer index of each lookback instruction in the compressed data stream into a lookback pre-fetch instruction located earlier than the corresponding lookback instruction in the compressed data stream.
