The compressed memory management method involves the following. Managing a compressed memory layout which divides the physical address space of the memory subsystem into a plurality of fragments of memory. Pre- allocating free fragments in the compressed memory layout. Receiving and handling fragment allocation requests from the memory compression arrangement by providing one or more of the pre-allocated free fragments for use by the memory compression arrangement to accommodate pieces of compressed memory. Receiving and handling fragment release requests pertaining to one or more used fragments by providing at least some of said one or more used fragments for deallocation in the compressed memory layout. The managing of the compressed memory and pre allocating of fragments are decoupled from the memory compression arrangement.
