Abstract
A computer system includes a host system that runs an application. The application outputs a compression request to compress a data stream having an initial data-representation size, and which includes a plurality of individual data chunks. A hardware controller compresses the plurality of individual data chunks according to different encodings based on a compression ratio of each of the individual data chunks to generate a compressed data stream having a reduced data-representation size with respect to the initial data-representation size.
