New CRAM method delivers major speedup for compressed memory reads
Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
A new Linux kernel technique called CRAM compresses data held in RAM and reports dramatically faster reads, with claims of up to 452x speedups when accessing compressed memory. Developers and Linux users are discussing how the method works, its real-world gains, and whether it could reduce the need for expensive physical memory in servers and desktops.
Why now: A claimed massive memory read speedup in Linux is a striking technical result that excites developers and system administrators.
