Abstract:
A memory scanning system may scan memory objects to determine usage frequency by scanning each memory object using a mapping of the processes stored in memory. The scanning may be performed multiple times to generate a usage history for each page or unit of memory. In some cases, scanning may be performed at different frequencies to determine multiple classifications of usage. The mapping may create a detailed topology of memory usage, including multiple classifications of access frequency, as well as several other classifications. Based on the topology, the objects in memory may be copied to another storage medium or optimized for performance or power consumption.
