X-Match algorithm is a lossless compression algorithm suitable for hardware implementation owing to its simplicity. It can compress 32 bits per clock cycle and is suitable for real time compression. However, as the bus width increases 64-bit, the compression unit also need to increase. This paper proposes the cooperative parallel X-Match (X-MatchCP) algorithm, which improves the compression speed by performing the two X-Match algorithms in parallel. It searches the all dictionary for two words, combines the compression codes of two words generated by parallel X-Match compression and outputs the combined code while the previous parallel X-Match algorithm searches an individual dictionary. The compression ratio in X-MatchCP is almost the same as in X-Match. X-MatchCP algorithm is described and simulated by Verilog hardware description language.
