Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a processor selects a page of data that is compressed by a first compression algorithm and stored in a memory block. The processor identifies a utilization amount of the compressed page of data and determines whether the utilization amount meets a utilization threshold. When the utilization amount fails to meet the utilization threshold, the processor uses a second compression algorithm to recompresses the page of data.
