Abstract
In some aspects, a method for adjusting an operating frequency of a memory controller is provided, wherein a graphics processing unit (GPU) accesses a memory via the memory controller. The method includes monitoring activity of the GPU to determine an active time of the GPU, comparing the determined active time with an active threshold, and, if the determined active time is greater than the active threshold, increasing the operating frequency of the memory controller.
