Abstract
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 examples of retrieving speculative probability values for range coding a plurality of bits with a single read instruction to a on-chip memory that stores a table of probability values. This disclosure also describes examples of storing state information used for context-coding packets of a data stream so that the state information is available after switching between data streams.
