    Abstract: A memory management method based on a compressed memory and an apparatus using the same are provided. A memory device includes a memory and a near memory processing unit. The memory includes a normal memory area for storing uncompressed data and a compressed memory area for storing compressed data. The near memory processing unit is configured to receive a first command to frontswap-store a huge page, which is stored in the normal memory area, in the compressed memory area; identify addresses of sub-pages of the huge page based on an address of the huge page; compress the sub-pages using the addresses of the sub-pages to generate compressed sub-pages; and store the compressed sub-pages in the compressed memory area. A size of the huge page is larger than a regular page.

    Abstract: A processor device includes a scheduler and a performance counter. The scheduler schedules commands of a first command set and commands of a second command set for a functional unit. A performance counter counts numbers of times where events of interest respectively occur while the functional unit processes first operations directed by the first command set and second operations directed by the second command set. The commands of the first command set are repeatedly scheduled such that the numbers of times for all the events of interest are counted with regard to the first operations. The commands of the second command set are scheduled after the numbers of times for all the events of interest are counted with regard to the first operations.

    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a host processor comprising a memory controller connected to a memory device comprising a near memory processing unit. The host processor is configured to detect a system memory shortage for an operation of an operating system (OS), configure a memory region of the memory device for use in a memory pool of the OS in response to the system memory shortage, identify a request to execute an acceleration logic, and configure the memory region of the memory device for direct access by the near memory processing unit in response to the request to execute the acceleration logic.
