A method for managing memory for applications in a computing system includes receiving a selection of a preferred application. During user-controlled operation over the application, the transitions of selected application between foreground and background are monitored. A retention of the application in memory is triggered upon a transition of the application to background during the user operation. Retention of the application includes compressing memory portions of the application. Accordingly, the application is retained within the memory based on said compressed memory portions. A requirement to restore the retained application is sensed based on either a user selection or an automatically generated prediction and the application is restored from the retained state back to the foreground.

Method and system for managing memory for applications in a computing system

An embodiment discloses an electronic device including: a first memory in which multiple applications are stored; a second memory; and at least one processor operatively connected to the first memory and the second memory. The processor(s) is configured to determine, based on a history of usage of the multiple applications for a first period of time, a priority of the multiple applications over multiple time intervals included in a second period of time. The processor(s) is further configured to preload a predetermined first number of applications into the second memory based on the priority if a designated condition being satisfied; and preload a first list of applications into the second memory if the designated condition is satisfied in a first time interval, and preload a second list of applications into the second memory if the designated condition is satisfied in a second time interval.
