Abstract
Provided are a compression unit, a cache memory, and method for using an ensemble of data transformers to encode data before zero-value compression. A plurality of data transformers that each perform a transform on an input chunk to produce a transformed chunk having more zeroes than the input chunk. A selection unit selects a transformed chunk having a minimum number of non-zero bits. A zero-value compressor processes the selected transformed chunk to output a compressed chunk having all non-zeroes and fewer bits than the input chunk. The compressed chunk is stored in the cache memory cell array.
