New Linux technique compresses RAM in RAM for 452x faster reads
Original: New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A new Linux kernel method, dubbed CRAM, compresses memory in RAM and reads it back as RAM, delivering up to a 452x speedup on compressed-memory reads. The technique, covered by Tom's Hardware, could improve performance for memory-constrained systems, embedded devices, and workloads that rely heavily on compressed swap. Developers are debating the benchmarks and real-world applicability.
Why now: A striking 452x speedup claim for Linux memory handling is drawing attention from developers and systems enthusiasts.
