    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing the migration of processes or virtual machines in cluster memory systems. To begin, a first computing device can identify a set of pages allocated to a process or virtual machine hosted by the first computing device. Then, the first computing device can identify a subset of the allocated pages that have been accessed with a least a predefined frequency. Next, the first computing device can copy the subset of the allocated pages to a second computing device. Subsequently, the first computing device can copy a page mapping table to the second computing device, the page mapping table specifying which pages in the set of pages allocated to the process or virtual machine are stored by a memory host. Finally, the first computing device can copy remaining ones of the allocated pages to the second computing device.
