1. A computer implemented method of reclaiming memory occupied by Just-in-Time (JIT) compiled programs, said method comprising:

  • tracking a JIT compiled program, the tracking recording tracking data that includes a method name corresponding to the JIT compiled program and an address range that corresponds to the JIT compiled program;

    discarding one or more memory pages included in the address range;

    branching to an address included in one of the discarded pages, the branching resulting in a page fault;

    retrieving the method name corresponding to the address that resulted in the page fault; and

    executing a method corresponding to the retrieved method name.
