Entropy coding is essential to data compression, image and video coding, etc. The Range variant of Asymmetric Numeral Systems (rANS) is a modern entropy coder, featuring superior speed and compression rate. As rANS is not designed for parallel execution, the conventional approach to parallel rANS partitions the input symbol sequence and encodes partitions with independent codecs, and more partitions bring extra overhead. This approach is found in state-of-the-art implementations such as DietGPU. It is unsuitable for content-delivery applications, as the parallelism is wasted if the decoder cannot decode all the partitions in parallel, but all the overhead is still transferred. To solve this, we propose Recoil, a parallel rANS decoding approach with decoder-adaptive scalability. We discover that a single rANS-encoded bitstream can be decoded from any arbitrary position if the intermediate states are known. After renormalization, these states also have a smaller upper bound, which can be stored efficiently. We then split the encoded bitstream using a heuristic to evenly distribute the workload, and store the intermediate states and corresponding symbol indices as metadata. The splits can then be combined simply by eliminating extra metadata entries. The main contribution of Recoil is reducing unnecessary data transfer by adaptively scaling parallelism overhead to match the decoder capability. The experiments show that Recoil decoding throughput is comparable to the conventional approach, scaling massively on CPUs and GPUs and greatly outperforming various other ANS-based codecs.
