内存压缩技术介绍（Memory compression technology introduced） Abstract: This paper introduces the memory compression technology and a hardware memory compression system model based on the application of memory compression technology in embedded system; introduced hardware memory compression system and operating system support for memory compression mechanism; introduce memory pressure Lempel-Ziv algorithms commonly used in shrinkage, and discusses the application problems memory compression technology in embedded system. Keywords: embedded system, memory compression, memory controller, Lempel-Ziv algorithm 1 memory compression technology introduced In order to save storage space or transmit bandwidth, data compression technology has been widely used in computer systems. When a magnetic medium stores data or a network transmits data, people use a variety of compression techniques based on hardware or software. While compression technology is popular in all fields, memory compression technology has not been widely used because of its complexity. In recent years, memory compression techniques have become feasible due to advances in parallel compression, decompression algorithms, and advances in silicon density and speed. The main idea of memory compression technology is to compress data into compressed memory according to a certain algorithm. The system can find compressed data from compressed memory, and then decompress it for the system to use. This will increase the available memory space and reduce the overhead of page replacement, so as to improve the overall performance of the system at a relatively small cost. The memory compression mechanism adds a layer of logic to the storage hierarchy of the system -- compressing the memory layer. In this layer, the system stores the physical pages in a compressed format. When the page is referenced by the system again, it can be used after decompressing the compressed page. We will manage the compressed memory layer of related hardwar
