Abstract
Real-time reduction of CPU overhead for data compression is performed by a processor device in a computing environment. Non-compressing heuristics are applied on a randomly selected data sample from data sequences for determining whether to compress the data sequences. A compression potential is calculated based on the non-compressing heuristics. The compression potential is compared to a threshold value. The data sequences are either compressed if the compress threshold is matched, compressed using Huffman coding if Huffman coding threshold is matched, or stored without compression.
