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 secondary storage module, said method including:

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

A system, including:

• an analyzer module for monitoring data access requests to a secondary storage module and identifying data addresses in said secondary storage module having similar properties;
• a processing module for
• creating multi-dimensional clusters in said virtual address space based on said monitoring of said analyzer module to group said data addresses having similar properties,
• creating 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
• transferring said memory page to a data cache in primary storage;
• a user interface for sending a request for a data object in said secondary storage module to said processing module;
• and
• a mapping module for identifying a data address corresponding to said data object in said secondary storage module via and mapping said 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 secondary storage, said computer program product including:

• first program instructions to monitor data access requests to said secondary storage and identify data addresses in said secondary storage having similar properties;
• second program instructions to create multi-dimensional clusters in said virtual address space based on said monitoring to group said data addresses having similar properties;
• third program instructions to create a memory page from a multi-dimensional cluster of said multi-dimensional clusters and create a cross-sectional partition from said multi-dimensional cluster;
• fourth program instructions to receive a request for a data object in said secondary storage;
• fifth program instructions to identify a data address corresponding to said data object;
• sixth program instructions to map said data address to at least one of said multi-dimensional cluster and said memory page;
• seventh program instructions to transfer said 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, and said seventh program instructions are stored on said computer readable media.
