+RAM Allocation</title><shortdesc>This section explains about optional RAM allocation. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>Optional RAM is commonly used by an application to store data in a cache
+or keep data in a temporary buffer to improve the performance of the application.
+Optional RAM is allocated based on the priority assigned to the applications. </p>
+<p>Applications can request for optional RAM when additional RAM is required
+to improve the performance, but the application can still execute the tasks
+without the optional RAM allocation.</p>
+<p>The main purpose of optional RAM is: <ul>
+<li><p>An application can safely allocate a large amount of optional RAM without
+the risk of affecting other applications.</p></li>
+<li><p>An application is able to release the optional RAM whenever it is needed
+for other applications without getting closed. As the application can still
+run without the optional RAM in limited performance mode.</p></li>
+</ul></p>
+<p>In order to allow OOM Monitor to release optionally allocated RAM, an application
+must provide an OOM plug-in. For more information on OOM plug-ins, refer to <xref href="GUID-DB6F586B-932A-4BDC-BA48-79C7D3FD9931.dita">OOM Plug-ins</xref></p>
