Hi, Latest processors have integrated hardware accelerators which can speed up operations like compress/decompress, crypto and analytics. Here are some links to details 1) https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/721858 2) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/780887/intel-in-memory-analytics-accelerator-intel-iaa.html
We would like to add a new compressor which can accelerate compress/decompress when hardware is available and which will default to software otherwise. Thanks, Shylaja
