Abstract

A system is described herein that includes a predictor component that predicts accesses to portions of asymmetric memory pools in a computing system by a virtual machine, wherein the asymmetric memory pools comprise a first memory and a second memory, and wherein performance characteristics of the first memory are non-identical to performance of the second memory. The system also includes a memory management system that allocates portions of the first memory to the virtual machine based at least in part upon the accesses to the asymmetric memory pools predicted by the predictor component.
