US 12,585,492 B2 · Memory management method and electronic device

Abstract

A memory management method and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: starting an application and providing virtual memory to the application; checking a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running; checking bitness of a process run by the application when the space of the virtual memory occupied is greater than a first threshold; and performing a process-killing operation on the application based on the bitness of the process run by the application. In the foregoing method, a specific application is checked and killed according to a preset policy by combining multi-dimensional information according to occupancy of virtual memory based on a memory exception occurring in a running application, so as to resolve a memory leak problem.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A memory management method, comprising:

starting, by an electronic device, an application;
providing, by the electronic device, virtual memory to the application;
checking, by the electronic device, a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running;
checking, by the electronic device, bitness of a process run by the application based on the space of the virtual memory occupied being greater than a first threshold, wherein the bitness of the process indicates that the process run by the application is a 32-bit process or a 64-bit process, and wherein the first threshold is based on the bitness of the process run by the application;
and
performing, by the electronic device, a process-killing operation on the application based on the process run by the application being the 32-bit process and the application being running in a foreground of the electronic device.

3 more elements

An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more memories that store one or more computer programs, wherein the one or more computer programs comprise instructions, and when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the electronic device is enabled to perform a memory management method comprising:
starting an application;
providing virtual memory to the application;
checking a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running;
checking bitness of a process run by the application based on the space of the virtual memory occupied being greater than a first threshold, wherein the bitness of the process indicates that the process run by the application is a 32-bit process or a 64-bit process, and wherein the first threshold is based on the bitness of the process run by the application;
and
performing a process-killing operation on the application based on the process run by the application being the 32-bit process and the application being running in a foreground of the electronic device.

6 more elements

A chip system, comprising:

a communications interface, configured to input and/or output information;
a memory, configured to store a computer executable program;
and
a processor, configured to execute the computer executable program to enable a device with the chip system installed to perform a memory management method comprising:
starting an application;
providing virtual memory to the application;
checking a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running;
checking bitness of a process run by the application based on the space of the virtual memory occupied being greater than a first threshold, wherein the bitness of the process indicates that the process run by the application is a 32-bit process or a 64-bit process, and wherein the first threshold is based on the bitness of the process run by the application;
and
performing a process-killing operation on the application based on the process run by the application being the 32-bit process and the application being running in a foreground of an electronic device.
