- electroly 4y agoI believe "zswap" is the main kernel feature supporting memory compression. https://lwn.net/Articles/545244/ https://lwn.net/Articles/545244/ -- I believe this article was written a bit before zswap was merged into the kernel.
- ribasushi 4y agozswap is not transparent memory compression: it specifically focus on compressed paged-out faults. I am not aware of anything that goes the MacOS way: actual compressed ram, with fast in-cpu-cache decompression of the compressed payload carried over the dram bus. This seems to be the current state of the world: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/374579 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/374579
