POWER-CONSCIOUS INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O) BUFFER ALLOCATION

Abstract:

Embodiments provide apparatuses, systems, and methods related to an electronic device that includes first one or more ports to transmit data from the electronic device, and one or more buffers to buffer the data prior to transmission of the data on the ports. The electronic device may further includes a bandwidth management module to: identify a bandwidth required to transmit an amount of the data on the first one or more ports; identify bandwidth-related parameters of the first one or more ports; and identify, based on the bandwidth-related parameters and the bandwidth required to transmit the amount of the data, buffer allocation of the data. The electronic device may further include a buffer management module coupled with the bandwidth management module, the buffer management module to allocate the data to the one or more buffers based on the buffer allocation. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
