Abstract
Provided are techniques for reducing a total amount of memory usage of an edge device by swapping application logics. A first application is executed in a foreground on an application framework, where the first application has a shown status. In response to receiving a request to execute a swap application, it is determined that the first application and the swap application use a same screen type and a same non-shareable resource. An application logic of the first application is stored in a suspended application logic pool, where the first application changes from the shown status to a hidden-suspended status. The swap application is executed in the foreground on the application framework, where the swap application has the shown status.
