A mechanism is provided for managing memory of a virtual machine having a runtime environment executing therein. The runtime environment includes a balloon agent that allocates memory objects within heap memory of the runtime environment and hints to a hypervisor that machine memory pages backing the memory objects may be candidates for page sharing. At launch of the runtime environment, the balloon agent allocates memory objects in response to detecting a state of high machine memory consumption by the virtual machine. Further, while the runtime environment is running, the balloon agent allocates memory objects within heap memory when the runtime environment becomes idle. |
