Abstract: According to examples, a compressed memory dump apparatus generates one or more compressed dump files from a virtual address space (VAS) of a target process. Memory regions identified from the VAS are grouped into memory buckets so that a memory bucket includes respective memory regions. Parallel threads are spawned to execute parallel dumping operations. The parallel dumping operations include reading the memory regions, compressing the memory buckets to generate compressed chunks, and writing the compressed chunks to the dump files. A compressed memory dump parser module can be used to retrieve the original memory content from the compressed dump files.
