We aim to use a data compression strategy to improve the seismic data transfer between CPU and FPGA through the PCIe bus. In order to improve the transfer speed, it is necessary that the compressed data transfer time (t1) plus the decompression time (t2) has to be less than the traditional transfer time (tt), that is t1+ t2t. Otherwise, the strategy will not improve the transfer speed. We calculated the speed-up in the transfer speed by speed up = tt/(t1+ t2).
