Abstract
An apparatus, method, program product, and system are disclosed for evicting pages from memory using a neural network. One embodiment of a method for evicting pages from memory using a neural network includes determining 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. The method includes determining an identifier for a page in memory to be evicted using a neural network. The neural network performs machine learning operations on the state information to identify the page in memory to be evicted. The method includes locating the identified page in memory using the identifier determined by the neural network and evicting the identified page from memory.
