Method and system for allocating memory to an electronic device
View Patent ↗A method and system for allocating memory to an electronic device ( 202 ) is provided. The method includes providing ( 404 ) a first static memory allocation to each allocation request of a first plurality of allocation requests. The method also includes determining ( 406 ) a mean and a standard deviation from the first plurality of allocation requests. Further, the method includes providing ( 408 ) a second static memory allocation to each allocation request of a second plurality of allocation requests, wherein the second static memory allocation is based on at least two standard deviations greater than the mean.
1. A method for allocating memory to an electronic device, the method comprising:
providing a first static memory allocation to each allocation request of a first plurality of allocation requests;
determining a mean and a standard deviation from the first plurality of allocation requests; and
providing a second static memory allocation to each allocation request of a second plurality of allocation requests, wherein the second static memory allocation is based on at least two standard deviations greater than the mean.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second static memory allocation is provided when the mean is at least one standard deviation greater than the first static memory allocation.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second static memory allocation is based on a Gaussian distribution of memory allocation.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising allocating a static memory to one or more applications at the electronic device.
5. A method for allocating memory to an electronic device, the method comprising:
providing a first static memory allocation to each allocation request of a first plurality of allocation requests;
determining a mean and a standard deviation from the first plurality of allocation requests; and
providing a second static memory allocation to each allocation request of a second plurality of allocation requests when the mean is at least one standard deviation greater than the first static memory allocation, wherein the second static memory allocation is based on at least two standard deviations greater than the mean.
6. The method as recited in claim 5 , wherein the second static memory allocation is based on a Gaussian distribution of memory allocation.
7. The method as recited in claim 5 , further comprising allocating a static memory to one or more applications at the electronic device.
8. An electronic device comprising:
a memory module, wherein the memory module is capable of providing a first static memory allocation to each allocation request of a first plurality of allocation requests, wherein the first plurality of allocation requests is received at the electronic device; and
a processor configured to:
determine a mean and a standard deviation from the first plurality of allocation requests; and
provide a second static memory allocation to each allocation request of a second plurality of allocation requests based on at least two standard deviations greater than the mean.
9. The electronic device as recited in claim 8 , wherein the second, static memory allocation is based on a Gaussian distribution of memory allocation.
10. The electronic device as recited in claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is at least one of the group comprising a mobile phone, a laptop, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an automatic teller machine (ATM), a microwave oven, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a pager, an oscilloscope, a router and a wired phone.
11. The electronic device as recited in claim 8 , wherein the second static memory allocation is provided when the mean is at least one standard deviation greater than the first static memory allocation.
12. The electronic device as recited in claim 8 , further comprising a memory allocator for allocating static memory to one or more applications present at the electronic device.
