Abstract

Systems and methods for optimizing memory management in a runtime environment are provided. The method comprises monitoring one or more objects loaded into primary memory of a computing system to determine if at least a first object can be removed from the primary memory; instantiating a proxy object to replace the first object in the primary memory; removing the first object from the primary memory; and monitoring calls to the proxy object to determine whether the first object is invoked by a process.
