Single pass footprint compression optimization

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for memory footprint compression in a computing device. In an aspect, a memory footprint compression system of a computing device may receive a size of compressed data stored in at least one output buffer. The memory footprint compression system may identify a class size based on the size of the compressed data. The memory footprint compression system may identify an unused memory pointer for a first memory slab based on the class size, wherein the first memory slab is pre-allocated. The memory footprint compression system may identify a memory address to write the compressed data to, based on the unused memory pointer. The memory footprint compression system may send the memory address to a direct memory access module.
