Today’s paper introduces Zippads , which compared to a state of the art compressed memory hierarchy is able to achieve a 1.63x higher compression ratio and improve performance by 17%. Consider a B-Tree node from the B-tree Java benchmark: Uncompressed, it’s memory layout looks like (a) below. ” The big idea. Implications.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. That ‘reasonable’ performance cost is a 6.8% faster for system calls). ASPLOS’19.
