class	gem5::compression::DictionaryCompressor< T >::UncompressedPattern
	A pattern containing the original uncompressed data. More...
class	gem5::compression::DictionaryCompressor< T >::MaskedPattern< mask >
	A pattern that compares masked values against dictionary entries. More...
class	gem5::compression::DictionaryCompressor< T >::MaskedValuePattern< value, mask >
	A pattern that compares masked values to a masked portion of a fixed value. More...

Detailed Description

Definition of a dictionary based cache compressor.

Each entry is compared against a dictionary to search for matches.

The dictionary is composed of 32-bit entries, and the comparison is done byte per byte.

The patterns are implemented as individual classes that have a checking function isPattern(), to determine if the data fits the pattern, and a decompress() function, which decompresses the contents of a pattern. Every new pattern must inherit from the Pattern class and be added to the patternFactory.
