Abstract
An apparatus, method, program product, and system are disclosed for evicting pages from memory using a neural network. A state module determines state information related to evicting pages from memory. The state information may be determined by a dedicated hardware snooping device that snoops a system bus for the state information. A learning module determines an identifier for a page in memory to be evicted using a neural network. The neural network may perform machine learning operations on the state information to identify the page in memory to be evicted. An eviction module locates the identified page in memory using the identifier determined by the neural network and evicts the identified page from memory.
