Abstract

Systems and methods for swapping out and in pinned memory regions between main memory and a separate storage location in a system, including establishing an offload buffer in an interposing library; swapping out pinned memory regions by transferring offload buffer data from a coprocessor memory to a host processor memory, unregistering and unmapping a memory region employed by the offload buffer from the interposing library, wherein the interposing library is pre-loaded on the coprocessor, and collects and stores information employed during the swapping out. The pinned memory regions are swapped in by mapping and re-registering the files to the memory region employed by the offload buffer, and transferring data of the offload buffer data from the host memory back to the re-registered memory region.
