  • Enabling compression based on queue occupancy
    Patent number: 11481158
    Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for enabling data compression in a computing system by a processor. Each storage block of a storage device associated with a queue may be split. Compression of data may be activated upon data occupancy within a queue exceeding a dynamic threshold. In one aspect, only a partial amount of the data is fetched, back to back, from a divided storage block in the storage block according to the queue based upon the data occupancy within the queue exceeding the dynamic threshold. A complete amount of the data may be fetched from the divided storage block in a storage block according to the queue upon the data occupancy within the queue being less than dynamic threshold.
    Type: Grant

  • Memory page access detection
    Patent number: 9727241
    Abstract: A processor maintains a count of accesses to each memory page. When the accesses to a memory page exceed a threshold amount for that memory page, the processor sets an indicator for the page. Based on the indicators for the memory pages, the processor manages data at one or more levels of the processor's memory hierarchy.
