android zram

android 内核中引入zram

Compressing pages and keeping them in RAM virtually increases its capacity. This allows more applications to fit in given amount of memory.

The usual argument I get is – memory is so cheap so why bother with compression? So I list here some of the use cases. Rest depends on your imagination 🙂

Netbooks: Market is now getting flooded with these “lightweight laptops”. These are memory constrained but have CPU enough to drive on compressed memory (e.g. Cloudbook features 1.2 GHz processor!).

Virtualization: With compcache at hypervisor level, we can compress any part of guest memory transparently – this is true for any type of Guest OS (Linux, Windows etc.). This should allow running more number of VMs for given amount of total host memory.

Embedded Devices: Memory is scarce and adding more memory increases device cost. Also, flash storage suffers from wear-leveling issues, so its useful if we can avoid using them as swap device.

缺点:需要更多cpu运算,功耗会增加.
