Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus to manage a process under a memory constraint are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting that a process is to transition from a foreground mode of operation to a background mode of operation. Without transitioning the process to the background mode of operation, a projected out of memory score is calculated. Without transitioning the process to the background mode of operation, the projected out of memory score is compared to a score threshold. Without transitioning the process to the background mode of operation, the process is terminated when the projected out of memory score is greater than the score threshold.
