Abstract
A computer system includes a plurality of hardware processors, and a hardware accelerator. A first processor among the plurality of processor runs an application that issues a data compression request to compress or decompress a data stream. The hardware accelerator selectively operates in different modes to compresses or decompresses the data stream. Based on a selected mode, the hardware accelerator can utilize a different number of processors among the plurality of hardware to compress or decompress the data stream.
