Android systems have been successfully developed to meet the demands of users. The following four methods are used in Android systems for memory management: backing swap, CompCache, traditional Linux swap, and low memory killer. These memory management methods are fully functioning. However, Android phones cannot swap memory into solid-state drives, thus slowing the processor and reducing storage lifetime. In addition, the compression and decompression processes consume additional energy and latency. Therefore, the CompCache requires an extension. An extended Android CompCache using a graphics processing unit to compress and decompress memory pages on demand and reduce the latency is introduced in this paper. This paper characterizes each data compression and decompression utility by measuring compression ratio, compression and decompression throughput, and energy efficiency to validate the process. Experimental results prove that data compression and decompression utilities can be beneficial to reduce the latency and perform faster compression and decompression compared with existing approaches.
