Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate pixel compression is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rasterizer module to convert an image to a plurality of pixels, an interface coupled to the rasterizer module, a depth check module coupled to the interface and compression logic to perform a compression encoding on the plurality of pixels, including dividing the plurality of pixels into a mega pixel block having a plurality of pixel blocks, determining coverage information for pixels in each of the plurality of pixel blocks, encoding each of the plurality of pixel blocks based on the coverage information to generate a mega encoded block.
