Abstract

Various embodiments are provided for length-limited Huffman encoding in a data compression accelerator in a computing environment by a processor. Symbol counts of a plurality of symbols in compressed data may be normalized and manipulated according to a maximum code length limiting operation such that those of the plurality of symbols having a least frequent symbol count have a symbol count equal to a maximum code length of a Huffman tree.
