Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for selecting one or more applications running in a data processing system to reduce memory usage according to information received from the applications are described. Notifications specifying the information including application specific memory management capabilities may be received from the applications. A status of memory usage indicating lack of available memory may be determined to notify the selected applications. Accordingly, the notified applications may perform operations for application specific memory management to increase available memory.
