  "summary": "With today's memory shortages, high prices, and ever increasing memory capacity needs, Meta engineers have been working on Compressed RAM \"CRAM\" for Linux. This hardware-offloaded compression still allows cacheline/byte access to compressed memory and in turn a better implementation than the likes of ZRAM and Zswap. Very promising is that there is near-native performance to raw DRAM speeds with…",
