Abstract: Data processing methods and devices are provided. A processing device comprises memory and a processor. The memory, which comprises a cache, is configured to store portions of data. The processor is configured to issue a store instruction to store one of the portions of data, provide identifying information associated with the one portion of data, compress the one portion of data; and store the compressed one portion of data across multiple lines of the cache using the identifying information. In an example, the one portion of data is a block of pixels and pixels and the processor is configured to request pixel data for a pixel of a compressed block of pixels, send additional requests for data for other pixels determined to belong to the compressed pixel block and provide an indication that the requests are for pixel data belonging to the compressed block of pixels.

Abstract: A technique for compressing an original image is disclosed. According to the technique, an original image is obtained and a delta-encoded image is generated based on the original image. Next, a segregated image is generated based on the delta-encoded image and then the segregated image is compressed to produce a compressed image. The segregated image is generated because the segregated image may be compressed more efficiently than the original image and the delta image.
