Abstract

A method, computer program product, and system for memory optimization by partitioning extraneous information from executable virtual machine code or interpreted code. The extraneous information may be stored separately, or accessed from the original code if needed for debugging or servicing the code in the field. This approach optimizes memory usage by reducing memory footprint while maintaining accessibility of the non-executable information for debugging and other processes necessary for servicing code in the field.
