Abstract
This paper shows how properties of the data produced by a particular compression scheme lead to an elegant paged logic implementation of a decoder. The implementation uses the new Xilinx XC6200 FPGA family, which supports dynamic use of programmable logic with special hardware. The work illuminates an eternal verity of computing that, when a resource is limited, its use can be extended by paging. In this case, the resource is logic.
