A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928057B2) discloses a system and method for managing application images in memory efficiently. The system includes a processor, an application image memory storing multiple application images, offsets between base and physical starting addresses, and an active image identifier. A virtual memory controller modifies addresses based on the active image offset to access the application memory. The processor can change the active image, modify offsets, and replace application images seamlessly, enhancing memory management and system performance.

Moreover, the method involves storing application images, designating active images, receiving and modifying addresses based on offsets, and accessing memory efficiently. By utilizing a virtual memory controller and separate system memory, the method ensures smooth operation and seamless transitions between active application images. Additionally, locking the application memory during boot processes and utilizing non-volatile memory enhances data security and system reliability. Overall, the patented system and method offer a comprehensive solution for managing application images in memory effectively, optimizing system performance and memory utilization.
