Abstract
An apparatus, program product, and method organize data objects in an object heap based upon access relationships between the data objects (e.g., based upon temporal proximity and/or relative frequencies of access). By doing so, data objects that are accessed in close succession with one another are more likely to be located within the same page, and possibly within the same cache line, as one another. Consequently, when accessing such objects, the frequency of memory swapping within a multi-level memory architecture (e.g., within a particular cache memory, or within a virtual memory scheme, as appropriate for the particular architecture) is often reduced, resulting in an overall improvement in system performance.
