Abstract
An apparatus is provided with operating logic for performing a number of data compression operations, and control logic for dynamically selecting one or more of the data compression operations, and have the selected data compression operation(s) performed on a set of data, in accordance with a set of scaling policies. In one embodiment the scaling policies are based, at least in part, on processor type and thread backlog. The scaling policies are used to determine compression techniques and combinations to use with data being communicated.
