Meta Developing Compressed RAM 'Cram' for Linux
Original: Meta Developing Compressed RAM "Cram" for Linux: Better Than ZRAM and Zswap
Meta engineers are working on a new Linux kernel feature called Cram, a compressed RAM implementation the company says outperforms the existing ZRAM and Zswap compression solutions. The project, covered by Phoronix, would allow systems to store more data in memory by compressing pages, improving efficiency on memory-constrained machines. Attention is focused on how Cram's design differs from the long-standing alternatives and whether it will be merged upstream.
Why now: A major tech company proposing a better memory compression solution for the Linux kernel naturally draws interest from developers and system administrators.
