Abstract
Shiftable memory that supports defragmentation includes a memory having built-in shifting capability, and a memory defragmenter to shift a page of data representing a contiguous subset of data stored in the memory from a first location to a second location within the memory to be adjacent to another page of stored data. A method of memory defragmentation includes defining an array in memory cells of the shiftable memory and performing a memory defragmentation using the built-in shifting capability of the shiftable memory to shift a data page stored in the array.
