Abstract

The present document provides a memory configuration method and device, which are applied to a terminal with a memory. The memory configuration method specifically includes: a test step, testing a memory usage efficiency of the memory corresponding to each compression space configuration respectively according to multiple compression space configurations; and a configuration step, configuring the memory according to a compression space configuration with the highest memory usage efficiency. The memory configuration method and device of the present document can dynamically adjust the size of the compression space in the memory compression technology according to different programs run by various users, thereby achieves the purpose of improving furthest the system memory usage efficiency, and avoids the problem in the existing technology that the memory usage efficiency of part of user terminals is decreased instead after using the memory compression technology.
