Abstract
An exemplary method for intelligent compression defines a threshold value for a key performance indicator. Based on the key performance indicator value, data blocks generated by a producer component may be scaled down to reduce power and/or bandwidth consumption when being compressed according to a lossless compression module. The compressed data blocks are then stored in a memory component along with metadata that signals the scaling factor used prior to compression. Consumer components later retrieving the compressed data blocks from the memory component may decompress the data blocks and upscale, if required, based on the scaling factor signaled by the metadata.
