Abstract
A computer-implemented method for decompressing compressed data, the compressed data representing an n-bit decompressed data value, the compressed data comprising a first compressed subset of bits and a second compressed subset of bits, the first compressed subset representing the n−2 most significant bits of the decompressed data value and the second compressed subset representing the two least significant bits of the decompressed data value, the method comprising performing decompression of the first compressed subset using a first decompression module to determine the n−2 most significant bits of the decompressed data value; performing decompression of the second compressed subset using a second decompression module to determine the two least significant bits of the decompressed data value, the first and second decompression modules implementing different decompression schemes; and combining the determined n−2 most significant bits of the decompressed data value and the determined two least significant bits of the decompressed data value to determine the n-bit decompressed data value.
