Abstract:
An apparatus to facilitate memory data compression is disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory and having a plurality of banks to store main data and metadata associated with the main data and a memory management unit (MMU) coupled to the plurality of banks to perform a hash function to compute indices into virtual address locations in memory for the main data and the metadata and adjust the metadata virtual address locations to store each adjusted metadata virtual address location in a bank storing the associated main data.
