Embodiments generally relate to compression in machine learning and deep learning processes. An embodiment of an apparatus for compressing untyped data includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) including a data compression pipeline including a data port connected to one or more shader cores coupling, wherein the data port is used to allow the transfer of untyped data without format conversion; and a 3D compression/decompression unit is used to provide compression of the untyped data to be stored to the memory subsystem, as well as data from the memory subsystem Decompression of untyped data. |
