Re:Transparent memory offloading: more memory at a fraction ... by mpweiher on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @12:24PM (#31825754)
Compressed swap has also been around for ages.

There's also been swapping to GPU memory (if free).

There are also advanced page replacement algorithms.

One interesting algorithm I read about a while back was using LZW not to compress swap, but to predict future page usage from past patterns.

etc. etc.

It's all still paging/swapping.
