Summary:Memory space is managed to release storage area occupied by pages similar to stored reference pages. The memory is examined to find two similar pages, and a transformation is obtained.

When the discarded page is needed, the remaining page is fetched, and the transformation is applied to the page to regenerate the discarded page.
