Hardware compression offload with DOCA Compress on a BlueField DPU, ConnectX NIC, or host: DEFLATE compress and decompress, plus LZ4 decompress (stream and block; LZ4 encode is NOT supported), instead of CPU zlib / zstd. Trigger on "offload this gzip", "decompress incoming network data on the NIC", "compress task returns INVALID_VALUE on alloc_init", "submitted a task but no completion arrives", or "decompress LZ4 on the BlueField", even without naming DOCA Compress.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DOCA Compress ## Examples - **"Offload this gzip on the BlueField."** — this is in scope if the codec is DEFLATE (or LZ4 decompress). Do not invent LZ4 encode or zstd offload. - **"Compress task returns INVALID_VALUE on alloc_init."** — size the `doca_buf` against the per-task cap query before changing the algorithm. ## Instructions Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure / test / debug. Open the capabilities companion for codec support and buffer-size policy. Do not open every companion file. **Where to start:** This skill assumes DOCA is already installed and the user is doing **hands-on Compress work** (bulk DEFLATE compression or decompression) on a BlueField / ConnectX / host with DOCA. Open the tasks companion if the user wants to *do* something (configure / build / modify / run / test / debug); open the capabilities companion when the question is *what can DOCA Compress express* on this version. If the user has not installed DOCA yet, route to `doca-setup/SKILL.md` first. If the user is asking *"should I even offload this compression to the accelerator?"*, the size-threshold path-selection rule in ## Capabilities and modes …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-compress@sha256:0dadcc24641de064The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.3d06e7e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
