We envision several major directions in our research. First, we would like to collect a set of representative applications from the common benchmark suites (e.g., SPEC 2017 and SPEC 2006) and generate these applications memory dumps. Second, we will perform an extensive analysis of existing compression algorithms that might be useful for each for the major contributors to the memory consumption. Third, we will look for potential domain-specific encodings that will improve compressibility of these applications even further. Fourth, we will investigate a potential of running execution directly on compressed data when possible.

我们在研究中设想了几个主要方向。首先，我们想从通用基准测试套件中收集一组代表性应用程序（例如，SPEC 2017和SPEC 2006），并生成这些应用程序内存转储。其次，我们将对现有的压缩算法进行广泛的分析，这些算法可能对内存消耗的主要贡献者有用。第三，我们将寻找潜在的特定于域的编码，这将进一步提高这些应用程序的压缩性。第四，我们将研究在可能的情况下直接在压缩数据上运行执行的可能性。
