Abstract
Resource-constrained devices face significant performance challenges when encountering memory pressure situations due to limited hardware resources. Existing approaches mainly focus on reactive and instantaneous approaches, but they often fail to accurately identify the root cause of memory pressure, resulting in delayed and ineffective response strategies. In this paper, we address this limitation by proposing an alternative data-driven approach to proactively detect memory pressure and identify the responsible process in resource-limited devices. Our method enables the activation and deactivation of extended process-level profiling based on the predicted memory pressure, facilitating the identification of the root cause process. Through evaluation, we achieved an 85% accuracy in forecasting memory pressure situations and correctly identified the responsible process in 83% of use-cases. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy to stream large amount of trace data in mitigating memory pressure issues in resource-constrained systems. This approach has the potential to enhance system performance and improve overall system architecture in such devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
