New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
A new Linux compression method called CRAM allows compressed memory to be accessed using standard memory semantics instead of as a block device, drastically improving performance. The approach yields a 452x speedup for compressed memory reads, offering a giant boost to systems that rely on memory compression.
The new method allows access using standard memory semantics instead of as a block device, drastically improving performance.

Nice to see its back, with better performance.
History repeated, with refinement.

the recording of the presentation has got to be on this YT channel but I only scrubbed through 2 videos (8h each) and it's not easy to find

not sure where it falls in the schedule here either https://lpc.events/event/20/timetable/#all
