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 intended to outperform the existing ZRAM and Zswap technologies. The project, covered by Phoronix, aims to improve memory efficiency on Linux systems by compressing pages in memory more effectively. Discussion is centered on how Cram differs from the established alternatives and whether it will be accepted upstream.
Why now: Meta's proposal of a new compressed-memory technology for the Linux kernel challenges long-standing tools like ZRAM and Zswap, sparking technical debate.
