New CRAM method dramatically speeds up compressed memory reads
Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses memory in RAM and reports read speedups of up to 452x over existing compressed-memory approaches. The method aims to let systems fit more working data in physical memory with far lower performance penalties when reading compressed pages. Developers on Hacker News are discussing the claims, potential tradeoffs, and how the technique might be integrated into the kernel.
Why now: A claimed 452x speedup for compressed memory reads is a striking performance result that has caught the attention of systems developers.
