Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically selecting which of the two-dimensional block of first values and the sub-blocks of first values are to be stored in compressed format comprises:
determining whether the two-dimensional block of first values can be suitably compressed using a fixed-length compression algorithm of one or more fixed-length compression algorithms;
in response to determining that the two-dimensional block of first values can be suitably compressed using a fixed-length compression algorithm of the one or more fixed-length compression algorithms, selecting the two-dimensional block of first values to be stored in compressed format; and
in response to determining that the two-dimensional block of first values cannot be suitably compressed using a fixed-length compression algorithm of the one or more fixed-length compression algorithms, determining whether each of the largest sub-blocks of first values can be suitably compressed using a fixed length compression algorithm of the one or more fixed-length compression algorithms.
