Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided for controlling a memory in an electronic device. A kernel of a control unit in the electronic device receives importance information, based on program information, and memory usage, from an Operating System (OS) framework of the control unit. It is determined whether a memory request signal is received at the kernel from the OS framework. The kernel terminates at least one program based on the memory request signal and the importance information, when the memory request signal is received.
