    摘要: Disclosed embodiments include a system having a first memory for storing a plurality of data quantities, each data quantity consisting of a first number of bits, and a second memory for storing a plurality of compressed data quantities, each compressed data quantity consisting of a second number of bits that is less than the first number of bits. The system includes circuitry for reading data quantities from the first memory and for writing compressed data quantities, corresponding to respective read data quantities, to non-sequential addresses in the second memory. The circuitry for reading data quantities from the first memory is for reading along a read orientation selected from one of row-orientation or column-orientation from the first memory, and the circuitry for writing compressed data quantities in the second memory is for writing along a write orientation in the second memory that differs from the read orientation.
