Abstract:
A matrix compression/decompression accelerator (MCA) system/method that coordinates lossless data compression (LDC) and lossless data decompression (LDD) transfers between an external data memory (EDM) and a local data memory (LDM) is disclosed. The system implements LDC using a 2D-to-1D transformation of 2D uncompressed data blocks (2DU) within LDM to generate 1D uncompressed data blocks (1DU). The 1DU is then compressed to generate a 1D compressed superblock (CSB) in LDM. This LDM CSB may then be written to EDM with a reduced number of EDM bus cycles. The system implements LDD using decompression of CSB data retrieved from EDM to generate a 1D decompressed data block (1DD) in LDM. A 1D-to-2D transformation is then applied to the LDM 1DD to generate a 2D decompressed data block (2DD) in LDM. This 2DD may then be operated on by a matrix compute engine (MCE) using a variety of function operators.

Claim (Index 1):
A matrix compression accelerator system comprising:\n an external data memory; a local data memory; and a data transfer processor, the data transfer processor is configured to transfer data between said local data memory and said external data memory; wherein the data transfer processor executes a 2D-to-1D transformation on 2D uncompressed data contained in said local data memory to generate 1D uncompressed data blocks; wherein the 1D uncompressed data blocks is stored in said local data memory by the data transfer processor; wherein the 1D uncompressed data blocks is compressed by the data transfer processor to generate a compressed superblock comprising one or more compressed and uncompressed data fields that is derived from said 1D uncompressed data blocks; wherein the compressed superblock is stored in said local data memory by the data transfer processor; wherein a compression mode vector is generated containing information on the type of compression used for each of said uncompressed data fields; wherein the compression mode vector is stored in said local data memory by the data transfer processor; and wherein the compressed superblock is transferred to said external data memory by the data transfer processor.
