Abstract
A device for managing compressible computer memory is described. The device has a memory region categorization arrangement configured to monitor memory requests to the computer memory and categorize memory regions based on spatio-temporal locality of the memory requests made to the memory regions. A memory region is categorized to exhibit low spatio-temporal locality when memory requests to said memory region are less frequent than a threshold. The device further has a selective computer memory management arrangement operatively connected with the memory region categorization arrangement and comprising a bypassed memory access mechanism and a compressed memory access mechanism. The bypassed memory access mechanism is configured to handle memory contents of memory regions categorized to exhibit low spatio-temporal locality in uncompressed form in the computer memory. The compressed memory access mechanism is configured to handle memory contents of memory regions not categorized to exhibit low spatio-temporal locality in compressed form in the computer memory.
