Abstract
A method and apparatus for integrating data compression in a computer system includes receiving first data at a first system level. Based upon a number of planes of the first data being less than or equal to a threshold, the data is compressed with a first data compression scheme, and transferred to a second system level for processing. Based upon the number of planes of the first data exceeding the threshold, the first data is transferred uncompressed to the second system level for processing. Based upon the received data at the second system level being compressed with the first compression scheme, the data is transferred to a third system level, and based upon the received data at the second system level being uncompressed with the first compression scheme, compressing the data with a second compression scheme, and transferring the compressed data to the third system level.
