Patent ID: 11755549

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for data processing. The method includes: determining, based on sizes of multiple data segments included in data to be processed, a first time required to perform a matching operation for each data segment, wherein the matching operation is used to determine non-duplicate data segments; determining, based on the size of each data segment and a compression level for the data to be processed, a second time required to perform a compression operation for each data segment; and determining, based on the first time, the second time, and a de-duplication rate for the data to be processed, a target mode for processing the multiple data segments from a first mode and a second mode, wherein in the first mode, a compression operation is performed only on the non-duplicate data segments in the multiple data segments, and in the second mode, a compression operation is performed on each of the multiple data segments. In this way, the data processing mode can be dynamically selected according to features of the data to be processed, thereby improving the efficiency of data processing.
