Abstract
Systems and methods for cache-based compressed display data storage are provided. One system includes memory operable to store compressed display data, a processor comprising a processing core and a cache, a cache storage module operably coupled to the memory and the processor, wherein the cache storage module is to initiate a storage of at least a portion of the compressed display data in the cache in response to an indication that the processing core is in an inactive mode. One method comprises, in response to an indication that a processor is in an inactive mode, transferring compressed display data from a frame buffer in memory to a cache associated with the processor, obtaining a first compressed display data from the cache, and decompressing the first compressed display data to generate a first uncompressed display data.
