Abstract
A computing device and an operating method thereof are provided. The computing device includes a memory and a processor configured to: perform a first compression on a data object stored in the memory according to a first compression method, store the first compressed data object in a swap data storage area, and reclaim a portion of the memory in which the first compressed data object was stored; register information about the first compressed data object in a first management table; obtain the information about the first compressed data object from the first management table based on a usage ratio of the processor; and perform a second compression on the first compressed data object according to a second compression method, store the second compressed data object in the swap data storage area, and reclaim a portion of the swap data storage area in which the first compressed data object was stored.
