Abstract
A method for transferring pages from a memory to a page repository identifies an affinity domain that associates processors and memory pages. The method further includes determining that a processor in an affinity domain is suspended and selecting pages included in that affinity domain to transfer prior to transferring pages in an affinity domain in which no processors are suspended.
