In some embodiments, an electronic device includes a processor, a physical memory
coupled to the processor, and a storage medium coupled to the processor. The storage
medium may store instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor
to: survey at least a portion of the physical memory, determine an amount of free
memory space and used memory space based on the survey of the physical memory,
determine if a consolidation of used memory space should be performed, and, if
so determined, consolidate the used memory space, and reduce the power provided
to at least a portion of the physical memory following the consolidation of used
memory space. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
