MEMORY AND PROCESSOR AFFINITY IN A DEDUPLICATED ENVIRONMENT

A page type may be identified for each of a plurality of memory pages, the page type corresponding to a particular process that accesses a particular memory page of the plurality of memory pages. The plurality of memory pages may each respectively include duplicate data. The duplicate data may be a same set of data values. Each of the plurality of respective memory pages may be ranked as candidates to deduplicate the set of data values to. The ranking may be based on at least the page type. In response to identifying the first processor and identifying a first memory device, the duplicate data may be deduplicated from the plurality of memory pages to a highest ranked memory page. The deduplication may correspond to coalescing the duplicate data to the highest ranked memory page.
