Enhanced dynamic memory management with intelligent current/power consumption minimization

A method for performing dynamic memory management, comprising:

• obtaining a low-power state current/power consumption for each volatile memory device in a plurality of volatile memory devices;
• copying data from a first set of the volatile memory devices to a second set of the volatile memory devices, where the second set of volatile memory devices has a lower low-power state current/power consumption than the first set of volatile memory devices;
• and
• placing the first set of volatile memory devices into a power-down state to reduce power consumption.

An electronic device, comprising:

• means for obtaining a low-power state current/power consumption for each volatile memory device in a plurality of volatile memory devices;
• means for copying data from a first set of the volatile memory devices to a second set of the volatile memory devices, where the second set of volatile memory devices has a lower low-power state current/power consumption than the first set of volatile memory devices;
• and
• means for placing the first set of volatile memory devices into a power-down state to reduce power consumption.

A processor-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

• obtain a low-power state current/power consumption for each volatile memory device in a plurality of volatile memory devices;
• copy data from a first set of the volatile memory devices to a second set of the volatile memory devices, where the second set of volatile memory devices has a lower low-power state current/power consumption than the first set of volatile memory devices;
• and
• place the first set of volatile memory devices into a power-down state to reduce power consumption.
