zswap-cli

About

Zswap-cli is a command-line tool to control zswap Linux kernel module options.

Zswap is a compressed cache for swap pages. It takes pages that are in the process of being swapped out to disk and tries to compress them into a RAM-based memory pool with dynamic allocation.

It trades CPU cycles for a significant performance boost since reading from a compressed cache is much faster than reading from a swap device.

Features
