Abstract: A data transfer device compresses and transfers data according to a priority given to a CPU-constraint process imposing a constraint to a compression processing speed over a NW bandwidth-constraint process imposing a constraint to a transfer processing speed. It is necessary to select a compression algorithm, applied to the CPU-constraint process or the NW bandwidth-constraint process, based on a NW bandwidth, compressibility, and compression processing speed maximizing an effective throughput. When the amount of compressed data held in a temporary hold part is smaller than the predetermined value, the compressed data of the NW bandwidth-constraint process is stored in a temporary hold part. When the amount of compressed data held by the temporary hold part is larger than the predetermined value, the compressed data of the CPU-constraint process is stored in the temporary hold part. Thus, it is possible to improve an effective throughput by effectively using NW bandwidths.

Abstract: A data transfer device includes a calculation unit and a compression processing unit. The calculation unit determines, from a plurality of compression techniques, a combination of a first compression technique and a second compression technique for optimizing effective throughput based at least on compression performance parameters related to the plurality of compression techniques and a transfer performance parameter related to transfer processing, the first compression technique being a technique in which a speed of compression processing serves as a constraint in a data transfer as compared with a speed of transfer processing, the second compression technique being a technique in which a speed of transfer processing serves as a constraint in a data transfer as compared with a speed of compression processing. The compression processing unit compresses target data using at least one of the first compression technique and the second compression technique.

Abstract: A data transfer device calculates a compression performance value which represents a quantity of data that can be compressed per unit time and a transfer performance value which represents a quantity of data that can be transferred per unit time, and calculates, based on these values, a compression ratio which represents a ratio of data to be compressed and then transferred to total data to be transferred. The data transfer device extracts, from a storage unit which stores data, the data to be transferred, and then compresses part of the extracted data based on the compression ratio, and transfers the compressed data and remaining data to another device. The compression and transfer processes are performed in parallel.
