Resources used by a plurality of applications that are located in system memory can be managed by monitoring usage statistics for the plurality of applications running on a hardware platform. Usage statistics for a particular application that are outside of a usage threshold profile can result in the creation of an on-demand profile that specifies a set of resources used by the particular application and a set of destination inputs mapped to the particular application. The destination inputs can be mapped to a management module. At least some of the resources of the set of resources used by the particular application can be released. Using the management module, an access to an input of the set of destination inputs can be detected. In response, resources of the set of resources can be allocated to the particular application.
