Abstract
A method of compressing data is provided. In one implementation, the method includes compressing data with a plurality of compression schemes, where the compressing is computer implemented. Also, in one implementation, the plurality of compression schemes include a first compression scheme and a second compression scheme and the compressing includes compressing a first portion of the data with the first compression scheme and compressing a second portion of the data with the second compression scheme, where the second compression scheme is different from the first compression scheme. In one implementation, the method further includes determining a suitable compression scheme from the plurality of compression schemes with which to compress each portion of the data, where the determining is computer implemented. In one implementation, the data is configuration data for configuring an IC.
