Abstract

An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for managing a staging area creates the staging area for identified candidate cold objects, moves the identified candidate objects into the staging area, tracks application access to memory comprising the staging area and determines whether frequency of use information for a specific object exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to a determination that the frequency of use information for the specific object exceeds a predetermined threshold, move the specific object into a regular area and determine whether a current time exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to a determination that the current time exceeds a predetermined threshold, the computer-implemented process moves remaining objects from the staging area to a cold area.
