Abstract

Methods and apparatuses enable separate management of shared data structures and shared data objects referenced by the shared data structures. The shared data structures are stored in a first memory, and the shared data structures are separately managed from the referenced shared data objects. The shared data objects can be accessed by the shared data structures via direct and/or indirect reference. A separation agent can detect references to data objects in an application to indicate which data objects are shared and are to be stored in the separate cache.
