<p>A sliding window type compression scheme is combined with a statistical type compression scheme to provide a dual-mode compression scheme that is optimized for use in compressing operating code in a data storage device. In a sliding window portion of the compression scheme, root and copy items are created, wherein the copy items include a length value and an offset value. The length values and most significant portions of the offset values are then compressed separately in the statistical portion of the compression scheme to form a compressed output which, when combined with the root items form a dually-compressed compressed output. A complimentary decompression scheme is then used to decompress the dually-compressed output.</p> |
