Effective Memory Clustering to Minimize Page Fault and Optimize Memory Utilization

A method for organizing data addresses within a virtual address space to reduce the number of data fetches to a cloud computing environment, said method including:

• monitoring data access requests to the cloud computing environment via an analyzer module, said monitoring including identifying data addresses in the cloud computing environment having similar properties;
• creating multi-dimensional clusters in the virtual address space via a processing module, said creating of the multi-dimensional clusters based on said monitoring to group the data addresses having similar properties;
• creating a memory page from a multi-dimensional cluster of the multi-dimensional clusters with the processing module, said creating of the memory page including creating a cross-sectional partition from the multi-dimensional cluster;
• storing the multi-dimensional clusters and the memory page in the cloud computing environment;
• receiving a request from a user interface for a data object in the cloud computing environment;
• identifying a data address corresponding to the data object in the cloud computing environment via a mapping module;
• mapping the data address to at least one of the multi-dimensional cluster and the memory page via the mapping module;
• and
• transferring the memory page to a data cache in primary storage.

A system, including:

• an analyzer module for monitoring data access requests to a cloud computing environment and identifying data addresses in said cloud computing environment having similar properties;
• a processing module connected to said analyzer module, said processor module
• creates multi-dimensional clusters in said virtual address space based on the monitoring of said analyzer module to group the data addresses having similar properties,
• creates a memory page from a multi-dimensional cluster of said multi-dimensional clusters, including creating a cross-sectional partition from said multi-dimensional cluster, and
• transfers said memory page to a data cache in primary storage;
• an interface connected to said processing module, said interface receives a request for a data object in said cloud computing environment and sends the request to said processing module;
• and
• a mapping module connected to said processing module, said mapping module identifies a data address corresponding to said data object in said cloud computing environment and maps the data address to at least one of said multi-dimensional cluster and said memory page.

A computer program product for performing a method for organizing data addresses within a virtual address space to reduce the number of data fetches to a cloud computing environment, said computer program product including:

• first program instructions to monitor data access requests to the cloud computing environment and identify data addresses in the cloud computing environment having similar properties;
• second program instructions to create multi-dimensional clusters in the virtual address space based on said monitoring to group the data addresses having similar properties;

• sixth program instructions to identify a data address corresponding to the data object;
• seventh program instructions to map the data address to at least one of the multi-dimensional cluster and the memory page;
• eighth program instructions to transfer the memory page to a data cache in primary storage;
• and
• a computer readable medium, said first program instructions, said second program instructions, said third program instructions, said fourth program instructions, said fifth program instructions, said sixth program instructions, said seventh program instructions, and said eighth program instructions are stored on said computer readable media.
