A method of storing encoded blocks of data in memory comprises generating headers for the encoded blocks of data. The headers are stored in memory according to a tiled layout based on tiles of plural adjacent blocks of data elements of the array of data elements. Respective sets of the encoded blocks of data are also stored in respective distinct regions of memory locations that have been allocated to those sets. The method provides an efficient way to access headers and corresponding encoded blocks of data in memory.
