Kunpeng Zlib Acceleration Engine

Introduction

Kunpeng Zlib Acceleration Engine is to build performance competitiveness of common software libraries on the Kunpeng platform.

Kunpeng Zlib Acceleration Engine，which is a new technology within Hisilicon Kunpeng 920 processors，provides a hardware-enabled foundation for compression. It significantly increases the performance across cloud, big data, and storage applications and platforms. By using Kunpeng Zlib Acceleration Engine, you can:

  • Have higher-performance compression and decompression
  • Maximize CPU utilization

The compression and decompression algorithm supported by Kunpeng Acceleration Engine are: gzip/zlib
