Efficient Seed Utilization for Reseeding based Compression

... reseeding architecture is the limited seed efficiency due to the variance in the number of specified bits per vector. This paper proposes a new LFSR reseeding architecture that essentially solves this problem, resulting in a significant compression ratio. The compression ratio is very close to the entropy in terms of #total bits / #specified bits. The technique is applied on two industrial designs resulting in a compression ratio of 33x (with a seed efficiency of 95%), whereas the conventional reseeding architecture resulted in only 2x (with a seed efficiency of only 50%)
