New Linux method compresses memory in RAM for 452x speedup
Original: New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A newly described Linux technique, called CRAM, compresses memory within RAM itself and reportedly delivers up to a 452x speedup on compressed-memory reads. Tom's Hardware reports the method could significantly improve performance for memory-constrained systems by making compressed pages far faster to access. Discussion is underway among developers about how the claimed gains are achieved and where the approach could be applied.
Why now: A claimed 452x performance improvement in core Linux memory handling is a striking technical result that developers are scrutinizing and debating.
