Abstract

The present invention provides an application virtualization framework that allows dynamic allocation and de-allocation of compute resources, such as memory. Runtime applications are pooled across multiple application servers and compute resources are allocated and de-allocated in such a way that resource utilization is optimized. In addition, objects are either stored in local memory or in a non-local memory pool depending on certain criteria observed at runtime. Decision logic uses decision rules to determine whether an object is to be stored locally or in a memory pool. Resource management logic monitors the memory pool to determine which locations are available for storing objects and how much memory is available overall in the memory pool for storing objects.
