Systems and methods for management of memory

A method of managing memory units using a multi-dimensional logical memory management structure, comprising:

• providing two or more spatially-offset organizational sub-structures, said substructures being spatially offset in symmetric or asymmetric spatial relationship to form said multi-dimensional management structure, each of said sub-structures having one or more memory unit positions defined therein;
• and
• assigning and reassigning memory units between memory unit positions located in different organizational sub-structures, between positions located within the same organizational sub-structure, or a combination thereof;
• wherein said assigning and reassigning of memory units within said structure is based on multiple memory state parameters.

A method of managing memory units using an integrated two-dimensional logical memory management structure, comprising:

• providing a first horizontal buffer memory layer comprising two or more sequentially ascending buffer memory positions;
• providing a first horizontal cache memory layer comprising two or more sequentially ascending cache memory positions, said first horizontal cache memory layer being vertically offset from said first horizontal buffer memory layer;
• horizontally assigning and reassigning memory units between said buffer memory positions within said first horizontal buffer memory layer based on at least one first memory state parameter;
• horizontally assigning and reassigning memory units between said cache memory positions within said first horizontal cache memory layer based on at least one second memory state parameter;
• and
• vertically assigning and reassigning memory units between said first horizontal buffer memory layer and said first horizontal cache memory layer based on at least one third memory state parameter.

A method of managing memory units, comprising:

• assigning a memory unit to one of two or more memory positions based on a status of at least one memory state parameter;
• wherein said two or more memory positions comprise at least two positions within a buffer memory;
• and
• wherein said at least one memory state parameter comprises an active connection count (ACC).

A method for managing content within a network environment comprising:

• determining the number of active connections associated with content used within the network environment;
• referencing the content based on the determined connections;
• locating the content in a memory;
• referencing the content using an available free memory reference;
• incrementing an active count parameter associated with the content upon detecting the new connection.
