CACHING TECHNOLOGIES EMPLOYING DATA COMPRESSION

摘要

A caching technique employing data compression is described. The description of the present disclosure includes a cache system, method and computer readable medium in which data in a cache line is compressed before being written to the cache memory. In some embodiments, this technique allows the caching controller to understand how much data in the cache line is compressed before writing the compressed data to the cache memory. As a result, the cache controller may store the compressed data in the cache memory, based at least in part on the size of the compressed data, the compression ratio resulting from the compressed data (or its corresponding input data), or a combination thereof You can decide where.;
