Abstract
Reusing data in a memory. A method includes determining to revalidate a first set of data stored in a first, invalidated, portion of the memory. An amount of data in a second set of data in the free portion of the memory that will also be revalidated by revalidating the first portion of the memory is determined. As a result, an action to perform is determined and performed. The action includes either revalidating the first portion of the memory if the amount of data in the second set of data is at or below a predetermined threshold or copying the first set of data in the first portion of the memory, and re-writing the first set of data to the active valid portion of the memory, if the amount of data in the second set of data is above the predetermined threshold.
