1. A processor package comprising:
a processor core; and
a compression accelerator coupled to the processor core, the compressor accelerator to process a request to compress source data into an output file, wherein the compressor accelerator comprises early-abort circuitry to provide for early abort of compression operations, wherein the early-abort circuitry is to abort a compression job when the early-abort circuitry determines an estimated size for a portion of the output file is greater than or equal to a an input size multiplied by a configurable early abort threshold and generate an error.
