Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for selecting memory pages for compression based on a population count associated with their datasets are disclosed. For example, a dataset stored in a memory page of an uncompressed memory is analyzed. Based on the analyzing, a population count associated with the dataset is identified. The population count is compared to at least one threshold. Based on the comparing, the memory page is selected or rejected for compression.
