Meta Developing Compressed RAM 'Cram' for Linux

Original: Meta Developing Compressed RAM "Cram" for Linux: Better Than ZRAM and Zswap

Meta is developing a new compressed RAM feature called Cram for the Linux kernel, which its engineers say performs better than the existing ZRAM and Zswap compression solutions. The project was reported by Phoronix, which covers Linux and open-source kernel development. Cram aims to make more efficient use of system memory by compressing data in RAM, a technique that matters for servers, data centers, and memory-constrained devices.

Why now: Meta publishing kernel memory-management work that challenges established Linux tools is notable to the open-source and systems community.
