Patent ID: 10176125

Abstract:
A memory system comprises a memory device coupled to a memory controller, the memory controller for receiving one or more memory requests from one or more core devices via an interconnect bus. The memory controller tracks utilization of the interconnect bus by tracking a selection of the one or more memory requests with fetched data from the one or more memory devices and waiting for scheduling to return on the interconnect bus during a time window. The memory controller, responsive to detecting utilization of the interconnect bus during the time window reaches a memory utilization threshold, dynamically selects a reduced read data size for a size of the fetched data to be returned with at least one read request from among the selection of one or more memory requests, the reduced data size selected from among at least two read data size options for the at least one read request of a maximum read data size and the reduced read data size that is less than the maximum read data size.
