ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for dynamically allocating main memory among applications. The method includes maintaining a first list and a second list, each list having a plurality of pages, maintaining a cache memory module having a selected size, and resizing the selected size by adaptively selecting the first or second list and adding pages to the selected list to increase the selected size and subtracting pages from the selected list to decrease the selected size.
