New CRAM method delivers big speedup for compressed memory reads

Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads

A new compressed RAM technique called CRAM has been introduced, promising up to 452x faster reads of compressed memory in Linux by keeping compressed data directly in RAM and accelerating access to it. The approach could let systems stretch limited memory further while cutting the performance penalty traditionally associated with compression. Linux and kernel developers are discussing its potential impact on memory-constrained machines.

Why now: A dramatic claimed speedup in memory compression technology has caught the attention of the Linux and systems programming community.
