Abstract
An integrated circuit for offloading a page migration operation from a host processor is provided. The integrated circuit is configured to: receive, from the host processor, a request to perform the page migration operation from a first physical address to a second physical address; and based on the request, perform the page migration operation. The page migration operation comprises: performing a copy operation of data from the first physical address to the second physical address, and updating a page table entry based on the second physical address, to enable the host processor to access the data from the second physical address based on the updated page table entry.
