Abstract: A method includes logically organizing, by an object hierarchy processor, data objects in a first hierarchy. A portion of the data objects in the first hierarchy logically includes groupings of other data objects. The object hierarchy processor physically organizes the data objects across two or more types of memory in a second hierarchy. Another portion of the data objects in the second hierarchy physically includes groupings of other data objects. Groupings of the data objects in the second hierarchy are dynamically moved across the two or more types of memory. Levels of access of the data objects are tracked using a data structure that maps groupings of the data objects in the first hierarchy onto metadata information including combined access frequencies of the data objects, and current number of accessors to the data objects, in each grouping of the data objects.
