- 1New Linux compression method delivers 452x speedup for in-RAM reads●New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses memory within RAM itself, keeping the compressed data in memory rather than swapping it to disk. Tom's Hardware reports the method offers giant boosts to compressed memory reads, with speedups of up to 452x compared with existing approaches. Developers and system enthusiasts are discussing what this could mean for memory-constrained servers and workloads.
