Swedish company ZeroPoint Technology AB has announced that it has raised 2.5 million in a seed round to bring its Ziptilion patented memory compression technology IP to the market. ZeroPoint claims a compression ratio of two to three times depending on the workload, which seems very impressive. Unlike current software compression technologies such as ZSWAP or ZRAM that are used to compress data in RAM at a rate of 1.4 to 1.5 times, ZeroPoint promises that it's hardware IP won't have any real world negative effects on system performance. In fact, they claim it'll only cause one nanosecond of extra latency when writing data and 100 nanoseconds delay when it comes to reading the compressed data from RAM.

ZeroPoint Technologies wants to Compress the Data in your RAM
Some of you might be old enough to remember various "RAM doubling" software software solutions that appeared back in the late 1980's for Apple and Amiga computers, as well as in the mid 90's for Windows 95 computers. Most of them never really delivered on their claims, but now it looks like we might be getting something similar, but in hardware.Swedish company ZeroPoint Technology AB has announced that it has raised 2.5 million in a seed round to bring its Ziptilion patented memory compression technology IP to the market.
