Methods and apparatus for improving data transformation in processing devices

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for improving data transformation in image processing device are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a memory, a data writer to write received first data into the memory in a first order, and a data reader to read the first data from the memory in a second order, wherein the data writer is to write second data into the memory in the second order.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a memory;   a data writer to write received first data into the memory in a first order; and   a data reader to read the first data from the memory in a second order,   wherein the data writer is to write second data into the memory in the second order.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the data writer is to write the second data into the memory after the data reader has begun reading the first data. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first order is linear order and the second order is block order. 
     
     
         4 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the data writer writes the second data in the second order by writing the second data in the first order at memory locations based on the second order. 
     
     
         5 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the data reader is to read the second data using a read increment determined based a) on a write increment used by the data writer to write the second data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         6 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the data writer is to write the second data using a second write increment determined based on a) a first increment used in writing the first data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         7 . A method comprising:
 writing received first data into a memory in a first order;   reading the first data from the memory in a second order; and   writing second data into the memory in the second order.   
     
     
         8 . A method as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising writing the second data into the memory after reading the first data has begun. 
     
     
         9 . A method as defined in  claim 7 , wherein the first order is linear order and the second order is block order. 
     
     
         10 . A method as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising writing the second data in the second order by writing the second data in the first order at memory locations based on the second order. 
     
     
         11 . A method as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising reading the second data using a read increment determined based a) on a write increment used in writing the second data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         12 . A method as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising writing the second data using a second write increment determined based on a) a first increment used in writing the first data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
 write received first data into a memory in a first order;   read the first data from the memory in a second order; and   write second data into the memory in the second order.   
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to write the second data into the memory after reading the first data has begun. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the first order is linear order and the second order is block order. 
     
     
         16 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to write the second data in the second order by writing the second data in the first order at memory locations based on the second order. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to read the second data using a read increment determined based a) on a write increment used in writing the second data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to write the second data using a second write increment determined based on a) a first increment used in writing the first data and b) a size of the memory. 
     
     
         19 . An apparatus comprising:
 means for storing data;   means for writing for writing received first data into the memory in a first order; and   means for reading the first data from the memory in a second order,   wherein the means for writing is to write second data into the memory in the second order.   
     
     
         20 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 19 , wherein the means for writing is to write the second data into the memory after the data reader has begun reading the first data.
