Abstract
Methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and apparatus are disclosed to decode zero-value-compression data vectors. An example apparatus includes: a buffer monitor to monitor a buffer for a header including a value indicative of compressed data; a data controller to, when the buffer includes compressed data, determine a first value of a sparse select signal based on (1) a select signal and (2) a first position in a sparsity bitmap, the first value of the sparse select signal corresponding to a processing element that is to process a portion of the compressed data; and a write controller to, when the buffer includes compressed data, determine a second value of a write enable signal based on (1) the select signal and (2) a second position in the sparsity bitmap, the second value of the write enable signal corresponding to the processing element that is to process the portion of the compressed data.
