Abstract
This application is directed to memory management in an electronic device. A memory includes a plurality of superblocks and receives a plurality of access requests. The electronic device stores information of an ordered list of superblocks in a cache, and each of a first subset of superblocks has a hint value and is ordered based on the hint value. In response to the plurality of access requests, the electronic device accumulates respective hint values of the first subset of superblocks and dynamically determines positions of the first subset of superblocks in the ordered list of superblocks based on the respective hint values of the first subset of superblocks. The ordered list of superblocks is pruned to generate a pruned list of superblocks. Based on the pruned list of superblocks, the electronic device converts a second subset of superblocks from a first memory type to a second memory type.
