A new memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for compressing main memory contents. MXT effectively doubles the physically available memory. This ...
Lossless data compression techniques can potentially free up more than 50% of the memory resources. However, previously proposed schemes suffer from high access costs. The propose...
Abstract. Many applications with large data spaces that cannot run on a typical workstation (due to page faults) call for techniques to expand the effective memory size. One such t...
During a program’s runtime, the stack and data segments of the main memory often contain much redundancy, which makes them good candidates for compression. Compression and decomp...
Current trends suggest that the number of memory chips per processor chip will increase at least a factor of ten in seven years. This will make DRAM cost, the space and the power i...
