Abstract

An information handling system includes a processor that detects a cache flush request of a memory device within the processor, and identifies multiple blocks of data within an address space associated with the cache flush request. The processor groups the multiple blocks of data into a single composite block of data, and compresses the composite block of data. The processor stores the compressed composite block of data, and stores metadata for the compressed composite block of data. The metadata includes information for both the composite block of data and information for each of the multiple blocks of data.
