Abstract
Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for implementing executing decompression of a compressed page. A computing device may determine a decompression block belonging to a compressed page that contains a code instruction requested in a memory access request. Decompression blocks, other than the decompression block containing the requested code instruction, may be selected for decompression based on their locality with respect to the decompression block containing the requested code instruction. Decompression blocks not identified for decompression may be substituted for a fault or exception code. The computing device may decompress decompression blocks identified for decompression, terminating the decompression of the compressed page upon filling all blocks with decompressed blocks, faults, or exception code. The remaining decompression blocks belonging to the compressed page may be decompressed after or concurrently with the execution of the requested code instruction.
