Abstract

It is determined that a memory pressure condition exists which limits how many active processes are allowed. There is generated and stored of a set of values corresponding to parameters for each process where the parameters are related to priority factors assigned to the associated process. There is calculated a prioritization score for each process based on the corresponding set of values. There is determined a first active process with the lowest priority based on the prioritization scores. The first active process is deactivated to reduce the memory pressure condition.
