Win8 memory recovery mechanism-small memory to accommodate multiple Metro applications

Microsoft introduced a brand new Metro interface in Windows 8. For the power usage efficiency of Metro applications, Microsoft adopted a special optimization strategy. After the application is suspended to the background, it does not use the CPU, so that the CPU enters the low power consumption status. Today, Microsoft wrote an article in its official blog about the memory recycle mechanism of Metro applications. Paused Metro applications are stored in memory: Metro style applications are often suspended regardless of whether they are displayed on the foreground or not. When the application is suspended, the Metro application is out of contact with the memory. If www.2cto.com does not have the memory capacity pressure, this is an extremely effective State, and the memory keeps Metro applications ready for war. If the memory capacity is limited, these suspended applications can supply the memory to running programs. Memory recovery mechanism when the Metro application is suspended: In the Win8 consumer preview version, the suspended application settings can be effectively written to the disk. When the system detects that the memory is tight, the memory can be released. This process is similar to application hibernation and is always ready to be awakened. Enable memory recycle: enable multiple Metro applications on a PC with 2 GB of memory. These applications are running in the background and are suspended by Windows. Enable more Metro style applications to trigger the memory reclaim mechanism. In this experiment, the physical memory of MB is released to other applications without shutting down existing applications in the suspended state. After the above tests fully consumed memory, the application that was suspended before the wake-up: www.2cto.com uses the Metro application "lyrics" as an example. After the application is awakened, the system starts to allocate memory to it. Note: When memory consumption reaches a critical point, the Metro application will be closed. Of course, before performing this operation, make sure to run as many applications as possible.
