    Abstract: In some aspects, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to create a virtual swap space that is exposed to a core system software, intercept a first page selected by the core system software to be swapped out to the virtual swap space, map the virtual swap space to a physical swap space that is allocated to a type of page associated with first swap metadata, and write the first page to the physical swap space based on the first page having the first swap metadata. In some embodiments, the first page is associated with the first swap metadata.
