Abstract
A data management method wherein a working set is distributed between near and far memories includes migrating first data from the far to the near memory according to a prefetcher algorithm. The first data (a subset of the working set) is maintained in the near memory in data structures according to predetermined semantics of the prefetcher that dictate that certain of the first data is prefetched when a first function evaluates as true. The method further includes detecting that the near memory has reached capacity, and in response, adaptively migrating a portion of the first data out of the near and into the far memory according to an eviction algorithm that is based on the set of prefetcher semantics such that certain of the portion of the first data is evicted when a second function evaluates as true, wherein the second function equals the inverse of the first function.
