SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING SOFTWARE APPLICATION OPERATIONS CONCURRENTLY WITH MEMORY COMPACTION OPERATIONS

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing software application operations concurrently with memory compaction operations. In use, one or more memory blocks to optimize utilizing a memory compaction operation are identified. Additionally, one or more data objects associated with the one or more memory blocks are identified, the one or more data objects being a portion of a plurality of data objects in a memory capable of being access by a software application. Further, the memory compaction operation is initiated utilizing a request including business related information associated with the one or more data objects. Moreover, an application flow of the software application is modified such that the one or more data objects are not accessed by the software application during the memory compaction operation, and the plurality of objects not associated with the one or more memory blocks are capable of being accessed by the software application during the memory compaction operation and are not processed as part of the memory compaction operation.
