Apparatuses and methods for dynamically reconfiguring a memory region of a memory device are disclosed. An electronic device includes a host processor including a memory controller connected to a memory device including a near memory processing unit. The host processor is configured to: detect a system memory shortage for operation of an operating system (OS); in response to a system memory shortage, configuring the memory region of the memory device for use in a memory pool of the OS; identifying a request to execute acceleration logic; and in response to a request to execute acceleration logic, configuring the memory region of the memory device for direct access by the near memory processing unit. 公开了用于动态地重配置存储器装置的存储器区域的设备和方法。电子装置包括主机处理器，主机处理器包括存储器控制器，存储器控制器连接到包括近存储器处理单元的存储器装置。主机处理器被配置为：检测用于操作系统(OS)的操作的系统存储器短缺；响应于系统存储器短缺，配置存储器装置的所述存储器区域用在OS的存储器池中；辨识用于执行加速逻辑的请求；并且响应于用于执行加速逻辑的请求，配置存储器装置的所述存储器区域用于由近存储器处理单元直接访问。
