Abstract

See full text

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for converting pixel data to a custom swizzle mode are disclosed. A graphics engine receives data in a pre-defined swizzle mode. The graphics engine determines a custom swizzle mode for the data that has directionality aligned to the data itself to further optimize deltas that are used for compressing the data. The graphics engine groups incoming data into group of two neighboring pixels in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The graphics engine scores horizontal and vertical groupings against each other to make a first swizzle mode bit selection. Then the graphics engine increases the grouping of pixels to include additional pixels and scores the increased groupings against each other to make subsequent swizzle mode bit selections. The data is reswizzled into the custom swizzle mode and provided to a compressor to be compressed.
