Abstract
An electronic device includes at least one compression-decompression functional block and a hierarchy of cache memories with a first cache memory and a second cache memory. The at least one compression-decompression functional block receives data in an uncompressed state, compresses the data using one of a first compression or a second compression, and, after compressing the data, provides the data to the first cache memory for storage therein. When the data is retrieved from the first cache memory to be stored in the second cache memory, when the data is compressed using the first compression, the compression-decompression functional block decompresses the data to reverse effects of the first compression on the data, thereby restoring the data to the uncompressed state and provides the data compressed using the second compression or in the uncompressed state to the second cache memory for storage therein.
