    Abstract: Generation and storage of compressed z-planes in graphics processing is described. An example of a processor includes a rasterizer to generate a fragment of pixel data including blocks of pixel data; a depth pipeline to receive the fragment, the pipeline including a first and second depth test hardware, the first depth test hardware to perform a coarse depth test including determining minimum and maximum depths for each block; and a depth buffer, wherein the processor is to determine whether the fragment meets requirements that the fragment fully covers a tile of pixel data and passes a first depth test, and that each of the minimum and maximum depths of the fragment has a same sign and exponent, and, upon determining that the fragment meets the requirements, to generate a compressed depth plane utilizing the first depth test and update the depth buffer with the compressed depth plane.

    Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to compression for compression for sparse data structures utilizing mode search approximation. An embodiment of an apparatus includes one or more processors including a graphics processor to process data; and a memory for storage of data, including compressed data. The one or more processors are to provide for compression of a data structure, including identification of a mode in the data structure, the data structure including a plurality of values and the mode being a most repeated value in a data structure, wherein identification of the mode includes application of a mode approximation operation, and encoding of an output vector to include the identified mode, a significance map to indicate locations at which the mode is present in the data structure, and remaining uncompressed data from the data structure.
