Abstract
A method includes providing at least one target bandwidth for bandwidth usage on an interconnect, the target bandwidth being for traffic associated with a traffic initiator. The method also includes measuring a served bandwidth and resetting the measuring of served bandwidth in response to an occurrence of an event.
Claims33
A method to manage bandwidth usage on an interconnect, comprising:
- providing at least one target bandwidth for traffic associated with a traffic initiator;
- measuring a served bandwidth on said interconnect;
- resetting said measuring of served bandwidth in response to an occurrence of an event;
- and
- issuing said traffic from said traffic initiator under control of a processor, wherein said traffic includes at least one of video decoding traffic and graphics traffic.
2 more elements
A device having an electronic arrangement, said electronic arrangement comprising:
- an interconnect configured to convey traffic associated with at least one initiator, said interconnect having at least one interface configured to interface with said at least one traffic initiator, the interconnect configured to process at least one target bandwidth provided for traffic, associated with a respective traffic initiator, on said interconnect;
- and
- a measurement unit configured to measure a served bandwidth associated with said respective traffic initiator, said measurement unit configured to be reset in response to an occurrence of an event, wherein said respective traffic initiator is configured to issue traffic under control of a processor, wherein said traffic includes at least one of video decoding traffic and graphics traffic.
A method to regulate traffic on an interconnect, comprising:
- providing a target bandwidth for bandwidth usage on said interconnect, said target bandwidth associated with a traffic initiator;
- issuing said traffic from said traffic initiator under control of a processor, wherein said traffic includes at least one of video decoding traffic and graphics traffic;
- determining a bandwidth usage on said interconnect;
- and
- changing the target bandwidth in response to an occurrence of an event.
