ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are described herein to provide for host virtual memory reconstitution. Virtual memory reconstitution is the ability to translate the host device's virtual memory addresses to the host device's physical memory addresses. The virtual memory reconstitution methods are independent of the operating system running on the host device.
