Abstract
Processing circuitry for computer memory management includes memory reduction circuitry to implement a memory reduction technique; and reference count information collection circuitry to: access a memory region, the memory region subject to the memory reduction technique; obtain an indication of memory reduction of the memory region; calculate metrics based on the indication of memory reduction of cache lines associated with the memory region; and provide the metrics to a system software component for use in memory management mechanisms.
