Meta Developing 'Cram' Compressed RAM for Linux
Original: Meta Developing Compressed RAM "Cram" for Linux: Better Than ZRAM and Zswap
Meta engineers are working on a new Linux kernel feature called Cram, a compressed RAM implementation the company says outperforms the existing ZRAM and Zswap technologies. By compressing memory pages in RAM, Cram could let systems run more workloads on the same hardware, reducing reliance on swap. The proposal is being discussed by Linux developers, with interest in how it compares to established compression approaches and whether it will be merged upstream.
Why now: A major tech company proposing a better memory-compression technology for the Linux kernel naturally draws attention from developers and infrastructure operators.
