Abstract

Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide application-specific launch optimization. Aspects of the present disclosure include one or more cost functions for each application, where each cost function corresponds to a likelihood that a particular application should be placed into a particular pre-activation state. For each of the inactive applications, a respective one of the pre-activation states is selected based on comparing cost values obtained by evaluating the cost functions. Each of the inactive applications can be moved to or maintained in the respectively-selected pre-activation state to more efficiently provide an expedited application launch experience for a user.
