The invention concerns generally memory management and in particular a data buffer memory management method and system for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of buffer replacement selection. Hierarchical Victim Selection (HVS) identifies hot buffer pages, warm buffer pages and cold buffer pages through weights, reference counts, reassignment of levels and ageing of levels, and then explicitly avoids victimizing hot pages while favoring cold pages in the hierarchy. Unlike LRU, pages in the system are identified by both a static manner (through weights) and in a dynamic manner (through reference counts, reassignment of levels and ageing of levels). HVS provides higher concurrency by allowing pages to be victimized from different levels simultaneously. Unlike other approaches, Hierarchical Victim Selection provides the infrastructure for page cleaners to ensure that the next candidate victims will be clean pages by segregating dirty pages in hierarchical levels having multiple separate lists so that the dirty pages may be cleaned asynchronously.
