1. A device, comprising:
a receiver to receive a portion of a data using a first sparse data format from a source device;
a transformation circuit to transform the portion of the data into a transformed portion of the data, the transformed portion of the data using a second sparse data format; and
a transmitter to deliver the transformed portion of the data to a destination device,
wherein the first sparse data format is different from the second sparse data format;
wherein the source device is different from the destination device; and
wherein the transformation circuit is configured to transform the portion of the data in the first sparse data format into the transformed portion of the data in the second sparse data format so that the destination device may process the transformed portion of the data.
