Abstract
A method is provided for manipulating a compressed translation table in a memory expansion technology system. The method comprises swapping contents of an output buffer with contents of a compression buffer, disabling compression for compression translation table entries corresponding to the content swapped to the compression buffer, and packaging entries of a compression translation table corresponding to the contents swapped to the compression buffer, wherein packaged compression translation table entries are accessible to a computer system for addressing the contents swapped to the compression buffer.
