Abstract
A method, system, and computer usable program product for selective memory compression for multi-threaded applications are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An identification of a memory region that is shared by a plurality of threads in an application is received at a first entity in a data processing system. A request for a second entity in the data processing system to keep the memory region uncompressed when compressing at least one of a plurality of memory regions that comprise the memory region is provided from the first entity to the second entity.
