Abstract
A data compression utilization method and apparatus are provided for a computer main store. An amount of unused memory in the computer system main store is dynamically calculated and compared with a plurality of predefined threshold values. One interrupt of a plurality of predefined interrupts is selectively generated responsive to the compared values. Then the usage of the computer system main store is adjusted responsive to the generated interrupt.
