Abstract

A system architecture is provided and includes an on-chip coherency unit, a processing unit, an accelerator and dedicated wiring. The processing unit is communicative with the on-chip coherency unit via a first interface. The accelerator is communicative with the on-chip coherency unit via a second interface. The accelerator is configured to be receptive of a request to execute lossless data compression or decompression from the processing unit and to responsively execute the lossless data compression or decompression faster than the processing unit. The processing unit and the accelerator are directly communicative by way of the dedicated wiring.
