New CRAM method dramatically speeds up compressed memory reads in Linux
Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
A new Linux kernel technique called CRAM promises major gains for compressed memory, with reported read speedups of up to 452 times compared to existing approaches. The method compresses data stored in RAM, letting systems effectively stretch limited memory while improving performance. Tech enthusiasts and developers are discussing its potential impact on machines with constrained memory and on Linux performance more broadly.
Why now: The large claimed performance improvement for compressed memory in Linux is generating strong interest among developers and system users.
