How specific are those "gzip instructions", though? Are there newer algorithms that could benefit from some of the same acceleration primitives, even if they do

How specific are those "gzip instructions", though? Are there newer algorithms that could benefit from some of the same acceleration primitives, even if they do higher-level things differently?
- wmf 6y agoThey're not instructions; it's a dedicated hardware unit. Most of the area appears to be devoted to finding matches so it should be possible to add other LZ-style algorithms without much additional area.
