Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for compressing data. The techniques include identifying, in data to be compressed, a first set of values, wherein the first set of values include a first number of two or more consecutive identical non-zero values; including, in compressed data, a first control value indicating the first number of non-zero values and a first data item corresponding to the consecutive identical non-zero values; identifying, in the data to be compressed, a second value having an exponent value included in a defined set of exponent values; including, in the compressed data, a second control value indicating the exponent value and a second data item corresponding to a portion of the second value other than the exponent value; and including, in the compressed data, a third control value indicating a third set of one or more consecutive zero values in the data to be compressed.
