Abstract
The described embodiments include a computing device that has two or more levels of memory, each level of memory having different performance characteristics. During operation, the computing device receives a request to lease an available block of memory in a specified level of memory for storing an object. When a block of memory is available for leasing in the specified level of memory, the computing device stores the object in the block of memory in the specified level of memory. The computing device also commences the lease for the block of memory by setting an indicator for the block of memory to indicate that the block of memory is leased. During the lease (i.e., until the lease is terminated), the object is kept in the block of memory.
