Abstract
Memory space is managed to release storage area occupied by pages similar to stored reference pages. The memory is examined to find two similar pages, and a transformation is obtained. The transformation enables reconstructing one page from the other. The transformation is then stored and one of the pages is discarded to release its memory space. When the discarded page is needed, the remaining page is fetched, and the transformation is applied to the page to regenerate the discarded page.
