    Abstract: A memory management method based on a compressed memory and an apparatus using the same are provided. A memory device includes a memory and a near memory processing unit. The memory includes a normal memory area for storing uncompressed data and a compressed memory area for storing compressed data. The near memory processing unit is configured to receive a first command to frontswap-store a huge page, which is stored in the normal memory area, in the compressed memory area; identify addresses of sub-pages of the huge page based on an address of the huge page; compress the sub-pages using the addresses of the sub-pages to generate compressed sub-pages; and store the compressed sub-pages in the compressed memory area. A size of the huge page is larger than a regular page.
