STATISTICAL COUNTING FOR MEMORY HIERARCHY OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Systems and methods that optimize memory allocation in hierarchical and/or distributed data storage. A memory management component facilitates a compact manner of identifying approximately how often the memory chunk is being used, to promote efficient operation of the system as a whole. Each memory location can be changed based on the corresponding memory access that is determined through tracking of statistical usage counts of memory locations, and a comparison thereof with a threshold value.
