Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods related to integrated memory pooling and direct swap caching are described. A system includes a compute node comprising a local memory and a pooled memory. The system further includes a host operating system (OS) having initial access to: (1) a first swappable range of memory addresses associated with the local memory and a non-swappable range of memory addresses associated with the local memory, and (2) a second swappable range of memory addresses associated with the pooled memory. The system further includes a data-mover offload engine configured to perform a cleanup operation, including: (1) restore a state of any memory content swapped-out from a memory location within the first swappable range of memory addresses to the pooled memory, and (2) move from the local memory any memory content swapped-in from a memory location within the second swappable range of memory addresses back out to the pooled memory.
