METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MEMORY RESOURCES IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING MEMORY RESOURCES, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

The invention concerns a computer-implemented method for controlling memory resources of an electronic device, said method comprising:- setting (35) at least one memory swap size limit (SL), said memory swap limit being lower than a memory swap size defining a maximum size of a part of said memory resources used by said electronic device for swap, called swap memory space; and- obtaining (37) a score for each program of a plurality of programs running on said electronic device;- terminating (38) an execution of at least one program of said plurality, when a level of free memory resources (FML) is reached, or when said memory swap size limit (SL) is reached and a score associated with said at least one program is equal to or higher than a priority threshold (PT) associated with said reached level of free memory resources and/or said reached memory swap size limit.
