Abstract

A computer-implemented method for optimizing memory usage. A processor set classifies data stored in virtual memory into hot data and cold data based on frequency of access for the data stored in the virtual memory. The processor set segregates the hot data and the cold data into different memory regions in the virtual memory to generate hot memory regions comprising the hot data and cold memory regions comprising the cold data. The processor set maps the hot memory regions to large physical pages in memory pages of physical memory and the cold memory regions to small physical pages in the memory pages. The processor set disclaims data in the cold memory regions from the memory pages of physical memory to reduce memory space used in the physical memory.
