Abstract: Provided is a resource manager. The resource manager may be a memory manager which is configured to determine a plurality of eviction rankings, wherein each of the plurality of eviction rankings assigns a position within the eviction ranking to each of a plurality of eviction candidates based on at least one eviction criterion. The memory manager may then select one of said eviction candidates by applying a voting algorithm to the plurality of eviction rankings and cause the selected eviction candidate to be evicted.
