Abstract
Described herein is a graphics processor comprising a processing resource configured to perform processing operations, a codec configured to compress and decompress data associated with the processing operations, and circuitry configured to calculate a metadata address for a compressed surface based on a flat virtual memory address mapping between the address of the compressed surface and the metadata address. The compressed surface is to store data associated with a processing operation to be performed by the processing resource and the metadata address is a virtual address that stores compression metadata for the compressed surface. The circuitry can configure the codec to access the compressed surface based on the compression metadata.
