More Information
Summary:Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for increasing the battery life of a mobile computing system through memory compression. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes compression logic to compress at least a portion of the data in volatile memory independent of an operating system. The compression logic may compress the data responsive to an indication to transition to a reduced power state.
