Abstract

Various embodiments are provided for enabling data compression in a computing system by a processor. Each storage block of a storage device associated with a queue may be split. Compression of data may be activated upon data occupancy within a queue exceeding a dynamic threshold. In one aspect, only a partial amount of the data is fetched, back to back, from a divided storage block in the storage block according to the queue based upon the data occupancy within the queue exceeding the dynamic threshold. A complete amount of the data may be fetched from the divided storage block in a storage block according to the queue upon the data occupancy within the queue being less than dynamic threshold.
