Abstract
An embodiment of an integrated circuit may comprise, coupled to a core, a hardware decompression accelerator, a compressed cache, a processor and communicatively coupled to the hardware decompression accelerator and the compressed cache, and memory and communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores microcode instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to store a first address to a decompression work descriptor, retrieve a second address where a compressed page is stored in the compressed cache from the decompression work descriptor at the first address in response to an indication of a page fault, and send instructions to the hardware decompression accelerator to decompress the compressed page at the second address. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
