Abstract
A computer memory compression method involves analyzing computer memory content with respect to occurrence of duplicate memory objects as well as value redundancy of data values in unique memory objects. The computer memory content is encoded by eliminating the duplicate memory objects and compressing each remaining unique memory object by exploiting data value locality of the data values thereof. Metadata is provided to represent the memory objects of the encoded computer memory content. The metadata reflects eliminated duplicate memory objects, remaining unique memory objects as well as a type of compression used for compressing each remaining unique memory object. A memory object in the encoded computer memory content is located using the metadata.
