Abstract:
In a computer system having a main memory for storing data in a compressed format and a processor cache for storing decompressed data, a method for converting the data of said main memory from compressed to uncompressed state, comprising the steps of a) reducing used portions of said main memory to a target value; b) disabling a compressor used for compressing the uncompressed data; c) decompressing said compressed data of said main memory; d) moving said decompressed data to physical addresses equal to real addresses; e) and releasing the memory occupied by a compressed memory director and data structures used in steps a. to d.
