A few weeks before the official presentation of Android 13, it became known about the extremely important innovation of the next version of the mobile OS. We are talking about solving a long-standing problem with the limitation of background processes, which often led to a violation of the message system.

In the code of Android 13, which is currently at the stage of open testing, a mention of a function called MGLRU (Multi-Generational Least Recently Used) was found. In the past, it has already been built into the Chrome OS desktop operating system, allowing you to increase the efficiency of background activities.

According to one Google developer, testing the new feature on millions of Android devices has shown a 40% reduction in CPU load when running the kswapd process that manages virtual memory, and 18% less forced closing of background applications due to lack of RAM. ty. In addition, MGLRU can significantly reduce memory consumption and reduce rendering time.

There is no information yet whether the MGLRU function will be integrated into Android 13 by default or whether its implementation will depend on each specific manufacturer and its add-on to the operating system.

More details about Android 13 should be revealed on May 11, when the Google I/O 2022 developer conference kicks off.
