Adaptive quality of service control circuit

Abstract:

Disclosed approaches of controlling quality of service in servicing memory transactions includes periodically reading by a quality of service management (QM) circuit, respective first data rate metrics and respective latency metrics from requester circuits while the requester circuits are actively transmitting memory transactions to a memory controller. The QM circuit periodically reads a second data rate metric from the memory controller while the memory controller is processing the memory transactions, and determines, while the requester circuits are actively transmitting memory transactions to the memory controller, whether or not the respective first data rate metrics, respective latency metrics, and second data rate metric satisfy a quality of service metric. In response to determining that the operating metrics do not satisfy the quality of service metric, the QM circuit dynamically changes value(s) of a control parameter(s) of the requester circuit(s) and of the memory controller.
