The AMD Vitis™ Data Compression library is an open-sourced data compression library written in C++ for accelerating data compression applications in a variety of use cases. The library covers two levels of acceleration: the module level and the pre-defined kernel level and will evolve to offer the third level as pure software APIs working with pre-defined hardware overlays.
- L1: Module level; it provides an optimized hardware implementation of the core LZ based and data compression specific modules like lz4 compress and snappy compress.
- L2: Kernel level; a demo on lz4, snappy, zlib, and zstd data compression algorithms are shown via kernel which internally uses the optimized hardware modules.
- L3: The software API level will wrap the details of offloading acceleration with prebuilt binary (overlay) and allow you to accelerate data compression tasks on AMD Alveo™ cards without hardware development.
Advanced users can easily tailor, optimize, or combine with property logic at any level as all the kernel code is developed in HLS C++ with the permissive Apache 2.0 license. Demos of different data compression acceleration are also provided with the library for easy on-boarding.
