Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing memory management for virtual machines. An example method may comprise: accessing, by a hypervisor running on a host computer system, a data structure exposed by a virtual machine managed by the hypervisor, wherein the data structure includes an estimated next access time for one or more memory pages of a plurality of memory pages associated with the virtual machine; estimating a read latency time associated with the virtual machine; identifying, using the data structure, a memory page associated with an estimated next access time that satisfies a predefined condition with respect to the read latency time; and swapping out the memory page.
