Abstract
Memory objects may be allocated and re-allocated within a computer system to consolidate infrequently used memory objects to memory regions that may be operated at lower power. During initial allocation of memory objects, the objects may be placed into high power regions. During subsequent periodic analysis, memory objects in high power regions that are infrequently used may be relocated to lower power regions while memory objects in low power regions that are frequently used may be moved to the high power regions. Various heuristics or logic may be used to handle unmovable objects, shared objects, and other types of objects.
