Abstract
A first method for efficient memory usage includes (1) determining whether data retrieved from a first storage device is characterized as data that is primarily read; and (2) if data retrieved from the first storage device is characterized as data that is primarily read (a) writing the retrieved data in a temporary storage device with short write latency; and (b) writing the retrieved data in a high-density memory. Numerous other aspects are provided.
