Abstract
A method and system for dynamic control of shared memory resources within a portable computing device (“PCD”) are disclosed. A limit request of an unacceptable deadline miss (“UDM”) engine of the portable computing device may be determined with a limit request sensor within the UDM element. Next, a memory management unit modifies a shared memory resource arbitration policy in view of the limit request. By modifying the shared memory resource arbitration policy, the memory management unit may smartly allocate resources to service translation requests separately queued based on having emanated from either a flooding engine or a non-flooding engine.
