Android systems have been successfully developed to meet the demands of users. The following four methods are used in Android systems for memory management: backing swap, CompCache, traditional Linux swap, and low memory killer. These memory management methods are fully functioning.
However, Android phones cannot swap memory into solid-state drives, thus slowing the processor and reducing storage lifetime. In addition, the compression and decompression processes consume additional energy and latency. Therefore, the CompCache requires an extension. An extended Android CompCache using a graphics processing unit to compress and decompress memory pages on demand and reduce the latency is introduced in …
