Abstract
A predictive model utilizes a set of coefficients for processing received input data. To reduce memory usage storing the coefficients, a compression circuit compresses the set of coefficients prior to storage by generating a cumulative count distribution of the coefficient values, and identifying a distribution function approximating the cumulative count distribution. Function parameters for the determined function are stored in a memory and used by a decompression circuit to apply the function the compressed coefficients to determine the decompressed component values. Storing the function parameters may consume less memory in comparison to storing a look-up table for decompression, and may reduce an amount of memory look-ups required during decompression.
