Abstract
A near-memory processing unit is configured to compress a page present in a normal memory space of a memory when receiving a swap-out command from a host, allocate a memory area in which the compressed page is to be stored in a compressed memory space which is a memory area previously allocated by the host, copy the compressed page into the allocated memory area, generate an entry corresponding to the compressed page, and insert the generated entry into an entry tree.
