Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for loading data into an accelerator, the apparatus comprising:
means for loading compressed machine learning parameter data into a cache accessible by means for executing, the loaded data including first operable data;
means for determining that second operable data is present in the loaded data in the cache; and
means for executing to:
decompress the first operable data into first decompressed data,
execute a first machine learning operation using the first decompressed data,
decompress the second operable data into second decompressed data the determination of the second operable data based on a comparison of bits in a sparsity bitmap to bits in the first decompressed data and the second decompressed data, and
execute a second machine learning operation using the second decompressed data.
