Abstract

An electronic device with volatile memory repeatedly compares an amount of free volatile memory to a first predetermined threshold level of free volatile memory. When the device determines that the amount of free volatile memory is less than the first predetermined threshold level, the device deallocates volatile memory by terminating one or more processes based on predetermined priority levels of the one or more processes.
