Abstract
A computer-implemented method for compressing, an input group of m data values compresses the two least significant bits of each of the data values by mapping the two least significant bits of each of the data values in the input group of m data values collectively onto an m-bit encoding and storing the m-bit encoding, the m-bit encoding being selected from 2m m-bit encodings, the 2m m-bit encodings comprising a first group of encodings comprising (2m−4) m-bit encodings and a second group of encodings comprising four m-bit encodings, wherein if the selected encoding is an encoding from the first group of encodings then the selected encoding represents the two least significant bits for a representative group of m data values in which the second least significant bit of each of the data values is the same as a respective bit of the m-bit encoding, and wherein if the selected encoding is an encoding from the second group of encodings then the selected encoding represents the two least significant bits for a representative group of m data values in which the two least significant bits for each of the data values in the representative group are equal to the two least significant bits o…
