US 10,855,818 B2 · Apparatus and methods for optimizing dirty memory pages in embedded devices

Abstract

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing images of memory objects. A computing device can receive a plurality of memory objects for one or more executable software components. The computing device can classify the plurality of memory objects in accord with a plurality of object classifications. A particular object classification can represent a probability that a memory object classified with the particular object classification is to be written to during execution of the one or more executable software components. The computing device can order the plurality of memory objects based on the plurality of object classifications. The computing device can provide an image for the one or more executable software components using the computing device, where the image includes the ordered plurality of memory objects.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of memory objects for one or more executable software components;
ordering the plurality of memory objects in increasing order of write probabilities using the computing device, wherein a write probability for a memory object represents a probability of writing to the memory object during execution of the one or more executable software components;
providing an image for the one or more executable software components to one or more computing devices using the computing device, wherein the image comprises the ordered plurality of memory objects;
and
initializing at least one computing device of the one or more computing devices by:
loading the one or more executable software components into the at least one computing device from the provided image;
and
executing the one or more software executable components on the at least one computing device.

5 more elements

A computing device, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
data storage having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:
receiving a plurality of memory objects for one or more executable software components;
ordering the plurality of memory objects in increasing order of write probabilities, wherein a write probability for a memory object represents a probability of writing to the memory object during execution of the one or more executable software components;
providing an image for the one or more executable software components to one or more computing devices, wherein the image comprises the ordered plurality of memory objects;
and
initializing at least one computing device of the one or more computing devices by:
loading the one or more executable software components into the at least one computing device from the provided image;
and
executing the one or more software executable components on the at least one computing device.
