1. A memory device comprising:
a volatile memory; a nonvolatile memory; and a controller comprising:
a memory buffer; andlogic to transfer data between the nonvolatile memory and the volatile memory via the memory buffer in response to requests from an application, wherein data in the memory buffer is accessible to the application;logic to receive a page-in request, and in response to the page-in request, to:
move a page of data from the nonvolatile memory to the memory buffer;provide a signal to the application that the page of data is available; andin response to a read operation from the application, write a page of data from the memory buffer to the volatile memory.
