Abstract
Memory management in a computer system may include allocating memory pages from a physical memory of the computer system to applications executing on the computer system. The memory pages may be associated with memory management tags. One or more memory pages may be identified for processing from the physical memory based on the memory management tags that the memory pages are associated with. The processed memory pages may then be designated as un-allocated memory pages for subsequent allocation to applications executing on the computing system.
