Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods, devices, systems, and procedures in a computing system for capturing a configuration state of an operating system executing on a central processing unit (CPU), and offloading memory management tasks, based on the configuration state, to a resource management unit such as a system-on-a-chip (SoC). The resource management unit identifies a status of a resource requiring memory swapping based on the captured configuration state of the operating system. The resource management unit then swaps the memory to alleviate the CPU from processing the swap thereby improving overall computing system performance.
