Abstract: Embodiments improve processing of data by determining if a read-modify-write operation on a frame is necessary or not. Some frames may be converted into a block of 8 bpp data. There may be no need to read the destination since the unnecessary pixels may be protected by the byte-enables. The burst write transfer may be performed for the entire frame when it is 8 bpp depth. An original transfer frame may be split into smaller portions of the frame. One or more of the smaller frame portions may be converted into byte alignment thus obviating the need for the read function to be performed on the smaller frame portions. Accordingly, significant bits of data are no longer processed under this operation which speeds up the overall processing of data. Portions of transfer frames that may not be converted to 8 bpp may be processed with read-modify-write operations.
