Abstract:
1. A method of processing an array of data, comprising: reading blocks of data representing particular regions of an array of data from a first memory in which the array of data is stored and storing them in a memory of a processing device which is to process the array of data by processing successive blocks of data, each representing particular regions of the array of data, prior to the blocks of data being processed by the processing device; and determining whether a block of data to be processed for the data array is similar to a block of data that is already stored in the memory of the processing device, the block of data that is already stored being a block of data from the same array as the block of data to be processed and for a position in the data array that is different from the block of data to be processed, and either processing for the block of data to be processed the block of data that is already stored in the memory of the processing device, or a new block of data from the array of data stored in the first memory, on the basis of the similarity determination.
