Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for compressing/decompressing data using floating points. As technology for compressing/decompressing data using floating points for efficient memory management, there are provided a method and apparatus for compressing/decompressing data using floating points, in which a log table is used to compress/decompress data, whereby not only data loss caused by compression/decompression can be minimized, but also degradation of performance can be prevented through a floating point representation even though the same number of bits are used for compression.
