Original: New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses memory and keeps it in RAM, delivering up to a 452x speedup on reads of compressed memory. Tom's Hardware reports the method offers a major boost over existing compressed-swap approaches, and the story is drawing attention among developers debating its real-world impact and how it compares to zram.
Why now: A dramatic claimed performance gain in core Linux memory handling is drawing interest from developers and system administrators.
