Abstract

A data packing system includes a source memory, a destination memory, and a data packer. The source memory stores data in source storage locations. The data includes valid data and invalid data. The destination memory stores at least some of the data from the source memory in destination storage locations. The destination memory stores the valid data in contiguous ones of the destination storage locations. The data packer transmits the valid data from the source storage locations to the contiguous destination storage locations.
