Abstract
Optimized memory management settings may be derived from a mathematical model of an execution environment. The settings may be optimized for each application or workload, and the settings may be implemented per application, per process, or with other granularity. The settings may be determined after an initial run of a workload, which may observe and characterize the execution. The workload may be executed a second time using the optimized settings. The settings may be stored as tags for the executable code, which may be in the form of a metadata file or as tags embedded in the source code, intermediate code, or executable code. The settings may change the performance of memory management operations in both interpreted and compiled environments. The memory management operations may include memory allocation, garbage collection, and other related functions.
