Bandwidth-Aware Fabric Traffic Shaping - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17900613 Titled 'Bandwidth-Aware Fabric Traffic Shaping'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a memory controller that uses a dynamic arbitration scheme. This scheme adjusts the way it prioritizes different types of data traffic based on factors such as the tolerance for delay, requested and available bandwidths, and other factors that can change over time. The goal is to optimize the allocation of resources and improve the overall performance of the memory controller.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory controller may include a dynamic arbitration scheme to dynamically vary arbitration factors of two or more traffic classes based on dynamic latency tolerance, requested and available bandwidths on an interconnect from source agents to memory controllers, and other dynamic and static factors.
