Disclosed are an electronic device and a data compression method thereof. According to a data compression method of an electronic device of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: compressing a page; determining whether data included in the compressed page is stored in a memory; and merging the compressed page with data previously stored in the memory when a result of the determination shows that the data included in the compressed page is the same as the previously stored data. Therefore, the electronic device can prevent a page including the same or similar data from being stored a multiple number of times in a swap area, thereby raising memory securing efficiency.

Electronic device and data compression method thereof

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for selecting a preloading application by considering a user pattern of an electronic device and for determining a preloading level. The electronic device according to the present disclosure includes a data management unit for determining a score of an application, and an application selection unit for selecting a preloading application based on the score of the application. In addition, the electronic device may further include a preloading level determination unit for determining a preloading level based on a variable indicating a state of the electronic device with respect to the selected preloading target application and the score.

Apparatus and method for performing selective application preloading in electronic device

Provided are an electronic device and a page merging method therefor. The electronic device may include: a memory manager that initializes pages and determines a page as a target to be merged if the page is initialized to a preset specific value; and a memory for merging multiple pages determined as a target to be merged and storing the merged page. The electronic device can determine whether to merge pages with a small amount of computation and merge the pages according to the determination result. Hence, the electronic device can manage the memory in an efficient manner.

Electronic device and page merging method therefor

Disclosed are a method and a device for increasing the performance of processes through cache splitting in a computing device using a plurality of cores. According to the present invention, a cache splitting method for performing a cache splitting in a computing device comprises the steps of: identifying, among a plurality of processes being executed, a process generating a cache flooding; and controlling the process generating the cache flooding such that the process uses a cache of a limited size.

Device and method for managing cache flooding process in computing device

A method for managing a memory and an electronic device are provided. The method includes setting a list including an exclusive relationship, between a page unit memory allocation requester and a contiguous memory allocation requester, corresponding to a segment of a contiguous memory allocation region, receiving a memory allocation request, confirming whether the memory allocation requester comprises the memory allocation requester included in the list, and allocating a page of the contiguous memory allocation region corresponding to the segment, if the memory allocation requester is included in the list.

Method and apparatus for managing memory

Provided are a method and apparatus for task scheduling based on hardware. The method for task scheduling in a scheduler accelerator based on hardware includes: managing task related information based on tasks in a system; updating the task related information in response to a request from a CPU; selecting a candidate task to be run next after a currently running task for each CPU on the basis of the updated task related information; and providing the selected candidate task to each CPU. The scheduler accelerator supports the method for task scheduling based on hardware.
