Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a decompression engine to perform a non-speculative decode operation on a first portion of a first compressed payload comprising a first plurality of codes; and perform a speculative decode operation on a second portion of the first compressed payload, wherein the non-speculative decode operation and the speculative decode operation share at least one decode path and the non-speculative decode operation is to utilize bandwidth of the at least one decode path that is not used by the non-speculative decode operation.
