Abstract
The use of heap memory is optimized by extending a cache implementation with a CacheInterface base class. An instance of a ReferenceToCache is attached to the CacheInterface base class. The cache implementation is registered to a garbage collector application. The registration is stored as a reference list in a memory. In response to an unsatisfied cache allocation request, a garbage collection cycle is triggered to check heap occupancy. In response to exceeding a threshold value, the reference list is traversed for caches to be cleaned based upon a defined space constraint value. The caches are cleaned in accordance with the defined space constraint value.
