Abstract
A method for sharing a hardware decompression engine, including performing a compression type check on a first data stream to determine a compression type of the first data stream, wherein the first data stream is compressed using one selected from a group consisting of a first compression type and a second compression type; wherein, when the first data stream is compressed with the second compression type: receiving the second compression type at a selector; converting the first data stream compressed with the second compression type into a second data stream of the first compression type; inputting the converted second data stream into the selector; and decompressing the converted second data stream using the hardware decompression engine capable of decompressing a data stream compressed using the first compression type. In other aspects, a system for sharing a hardware decompression engine and a computing system are provided.
