Abstract

A method, according to one embodiment, includes repeating the following sequence at least until a page stripe of a memory cache has at least a predetermined amount of data stored therein: receiving a compressed logical page of data, finding an open codeword having an amount of available space which is greater than or equal to a size of the compressed logical page, and storing the compressed logical page in the open codeword having the amount of available space which is greater than or equal to a size of the compressed logical page. The compressed logical page does not straddle out of the open codeword. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
