Abstract
In various examples, metadata may be generated corresponding to compressed data streams that are compressed according to serial compression algorithms—such as arithmetic encoding, entropy encoding, etc.—in order to allow for parallel decompression of the compressed data. As a result, modification to the compressed data stream itself may not be required, and bandwidth and storage requirements of the system may be minimally impacted. In addition, by parallelizing the decompression, the system may benefit from faster decompression times while also reducing or entirely removing the adoption cycle for systems using the metadata for parallel decompression.
