Abstract
A memory device includes a memory interface to a host computer and a memory overprovisioning logic configured to provide a virtual memory capacity to a host operating system (OS). A kernel driver module of the host OS is configured to manage the virtual memory capacity of the memory device provided by the memory overprovisioning logic of the memory device and provide a fast swap of anonymous pages to a frontswap space and file pages to a cleancache space of the memory device based on the virtual memory capacity of the memory device.
