1. A memory management system comprising:
- a memory to store coded data of an embedded code stream, the coded data being categorized as more significant data and less significant data for access in an embedded casual fashion; and
a memory manager to control storage of the coded data in the memory by discarding a portion of the coded data categorized as less significant data to facilitate storage of the coded data categorized as more significant data.

Abstract
A compression and decompression system in which a reversible wavelet filter are used to generates coefficients from input data, such as image data. The reversible wavelet filter is an efficient transform implemented with integer arithmetic that has exact reconstruction. The present invention uses the reversible wavelet filter in a lossless system (or lossy system) in which an embedded codestream is generated from the coefficients produced by the filter. An entropy coder performs entropy coding on the embedded codestream to produce the compressed data stream.
