Abstract
A memory system enables a host device to flexibly allocate compressed storage managed by a memory buffer device. The host device allocates a first block of host-visible addresses associated with the compressed region and a memory buffer device allocates a corresponding second block of host-visible memory. The host device may migrate uncompressed data to and from compressed storage by referencing an address in the second block (with compression and decompression managed by the memory buffer device) and may migrate compressed data to and from compressed storage (bypassing compression and decompression on the memory buffer device) by instead referencing an address in the first block.
