2. Virtual memory compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory_compression

   By reducing the I/O activity caused by paging requests, virtual memory compression can produce overall performance improvements. The degree of performance improvement depends on a variety of factors, including the availability of any compression co-processors, spare bandwidth on the CPU, speed of the I/O channel, speed of the physical memory, and the compressibility of the physical memory ...

3. SoftRAM - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftRAM

   This was a standard technique also used by other memory optimization tools. [7] SoftRAM also claimed to increase the amount of virtual memory available by compressing the pages of virtual memory stored in the swap file on the hard disk, which has the added effect of reducing the number of swap file reads and writes. [7] The software also ...

4. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

   Thrashing occurs when there are too many pages in memory, and each page refers to another page. Real memory reduces its capacity to contain all the pages, so it uses 'virtual memory'. When each page in execution demands that page that is not currently in real memory (RAM) it places some pages on virtual memory and adjusts the required page on RAM.

5. Virtual memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory

   Virtual memory combines active RAM and inactive memory on DASD [a] to form a large range of contiguous addresses.. In computing, virtual memory, or virtual storage, [b] is a memory management technique that provides an "idealized abstraction of the storage resources that are actually available on a given machine" [3] which "creates the illusion to users of a very large (main) memory".

6. Memory virtualization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_virtualization

   Virtual memory systems abstract between physical RAM and virtual addresses, assigning virtual memory addresses both to physical RAM and to disk-based storage, expanding addressable memory, but at the cost of speed. NUMA and SMP architectures optimize memory allocation within multi-processor systems. While these technologies dynamically manage ...

7. GDDR6 SDRAM - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDDR6_SDRAM

   Graphics Double Data Rate 6 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (GDDR6 SDRAM) is a type of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM) with a high bandwidth, "double data rate" interface, designed for use in graphics cards, game consoles, and high-performance computing.
