发明名称 Method and apparatus for freeing memory in a data processing system
摘要 A method and apparatus in a computer freeing space in a memory, wherein a plurality of objects are present within the memory. Responsive to an indication that space needs to be freed in the memory, an object is identified within the plurality of objects that is an oldest, least recently used object that is in use in the memory, wherein the object is an identified object and has a set of object attributes. The set of object attributes is inspected for the identified object to determine whether the identified object is a candidate for storage in a seldom used object store. Responsive to a determination that the identified object is a candidate, the object is copied to the seldom used object store, wherein the identified object becomes a relocated object. References to the relocated object to a location of the relocated object in the seldom used object store are adjusted. Space is freed in the memory occupied by the relocated object.
