Abstract
A processing device is provided which includes a plurality of encoders each configured to compress a portion of data using a different compression algorithm. The processing device also includes one or more processors configured to cause an encoder, of the plurality of encoders, to compress the portion of data when it is determined that the portion of data, which is compressed by another encoder configured to compress the portion of data prior to the encoder in an encoder hierarchy, is not successfully compressed according to a compression metric by the other encoder in the encoder hierarchy. The one or more processors are also configured to prevent the encoder from compressing the portion of data when it is determined that the portion of data is successfully compressed according to the compression metric by the other encoder in the encoder hierarchy.
