Just-in-time system bandwidth changes

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory configured to store data;
• and
• at least one processor configured to retrieve and process the data stored in the memory according to a periodic system, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
• configure, during a current frame in the periodic system, a bandwidth for a next frame via software executing on the at least one processor;
• monitor an actual processing time associated with the current frame;
• and
• issue, via hardware, a bandwidth change request for the next frame when a current time reaches a bandwidth increase threshold in response to the actual processing time associated with the current frame finishing prior to the bandwidth increase threshold, wherein the bandwidth increase threshold is defined relative to a timer deadline that defines when the next frame starts to process.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for configuring, via software, a bandwidth for a next frame during a current frame in a periodic system associated with the apparatus;
• means for monitoring an actual processing time associated with the current frame;
• and
• means for issuing, via hardware associated with the periodic system, a bandwidth change request for the next frame when a current time reaches a bandwidth increase threshold in response to the actual processing time associated with the current frame finishing prior to the bandwidth increase threshold, wherein the bandwidth increase threshold is defined relative to a timer deadline that defines when the next frame starts to process.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions recorded thereon, the computer-executable instructions configured to cause an electronic device to:

• configure, during a current frame in a periodic system associated with the electronic device, a bandwidth for a next frame, wherein the bandwidth for the next frame is configured via software operating on the electronic device;
• monitor an actual processing time associated with the current frame;
• and
• issue, via hardware associated with the periodic system, a bandwidth change request for the next frame when a current time reaches a bandwidth increase threshold in response to the actual processing time associated with the current frame finishing prior to the bandwidth increase threshold, wherein the bandwidth increase threshold is defined relative to a timer deadline that defines when the next frame starts to process.
