New CRAM method speeds up compressed memory reads in Linux
Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
A new compressed memory technique called CRAM for Linux claims read speeds up to 452 times faster when accessing memory compressed in RAM. The method improves how the kernel reads compressed pages, cutting decompression overhead. Developers and Linux users are discussing the performance claims, potential workloads that could benefit, and when the technology might land in the mainline kernel.
Why now: A dramatic claimed performance improvement to Linux memory compression has drawn attention from developers and systems enthusiasts.
