Abstract
A method may include dividing, into a first portion of memory resources and a second portion of memory resources, a plurality of memory resources included in a cache coupled with a database. The plurality of memory resources included in the cache may store data from the database. The first portion of memory resources may be occupied by data assigned to a first weight class. The second portion of memory resources may be occupied by data assigned to a second weight class. The first portion of memory resources may be selected based at least on the first weight class and an age of at least some of the data occupying the first portion of memory resources. In response to the selection of the first portion of memory resources, the first portion of memory resources may be reclaimed. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
