Abstract
A method of compressing data for transfer between a local storage of a processor and an external storage. The data is formed in an array of three or more dimensions and the method comprises sequentially reading data stored in the local storage to a compressor in units of data. Each unit has a predetermined unit size corresponding to an integer number of a tile size. At an extremity of the array, a partial unit of data is read in a case that the array size is not an integer multiple of the unit size. The partial unit of data is filled at the compressor and the filled data is compressed on a tile-by-tile basis to form compressed data. The compressed data associated with the unit of data is transferred to the external storage.
