Acclaim is a foreground aware and size-sensitive reclaim scheme for Android. Acclaim consists of two parts: foreground aware eviction (FAE) and lightweight prediction-based reclaim scheme (LWP). FAE is used to relocate free pages from background applications to foreground applications. While LWP dynamically tunes the size and the amount of background reclaims according to the predicted allocation workloads.

NOTE: The Acclaim source code currently distributed is almost completely contained in the kernel directory. The execptions are some small changes in the kernel's memory management system. More details can be found here.
