Apparatuses and methods for operations using compressed and decompressed data

An apparatus, comprising:

• a host external to a memory device, the host configured to send compressed data in a subsampled YUV image format;
• the memory device comprising circuitry configured to:
• receive the compressed data by sensing circuitry of an intelligent frame buffer associated with a random access memory (RAM) array of memory cells on the memory device,
• wherein a sense amplifier and a compute component in the sensing circuitry are configured to perform a read operation on data stored by the array, a write operation on received data, and a decompression operation on the compressed data;
• perform the decompression operation on the compressed data using the sense amplifier in the sensing circuitry on the memory device during the decompression operation until the compressed data is decompressed,
• wherein decompression of the compressed data comprises converting the subsampled YUV image format to a non-subsampled RGB image format in the sensing circuitry of the intelligent frame buffer, which is performed without transferring data values involved in the decompression to a processing component external to the sensing circuitry;
• direct, by an operations component, the decompression via bitwise performance of a number of logical operations by operating a plurality of compute components in the sensing circuitry as one-bit processing elements;
• store an image in the non-subsampled RGB image format to the RAM array;
• composite a plurality of images in the non-subsampled RGB image format into a different image using an alpha blending technique;
• and
• either display, render, project, or store the different image.
