摘要: A method and system for allowing a processor or I/O master to address more memory than physically exists are described. Compressed Memory Management Unit (CMMU) may keep least recently used pages compressed, most and/or frequently uncompressed in physical memory. The CMMU translates addresses into addresses, manage the compression decompression of data at as required. provide be compressed decompressed compression/decompression engine. In some embodiments, provided plurality engines that configured operate parallel. pass resulting controller access integrated processor, elsewhere within system.
