An embodiment of the invention provides a method for effective memory clustering to minimize page faults and optimize memory utilization. More specifically, the method monitors data access requests to secondary storage and identifies data addresses in secondary storage having similar properties. Multi-dimensional clusters are created based on the monitoring to group the data addresses having similar properties. A memory page is created from a multi-dimensional cluster, wherein a cross-sectional partition is created (sliced) from the multi-dimensional cluster. The method receives a request for a data object in secondary storage and identifies a data address corresponding to the requested data object. The data address is mapped to the multi-dimensional cluster and/or the memory page; and, the memory page is transferred to a data cache in primary storage.
