Abstract
An example apparatus includes: bandwidth estimator circuitry configured to: obtain a first memory transaction; and determine a consumed bandwidth associated with the memory transaction; and gate circuitry configured to: permit transmission of the memory transaction to a memory controller circuitry; determine whether to gate a second memory transaction generated by a source of the first memory transaction based on the consumed bandwidth of the first memory transaction; and when it is determined to gate the second memory transaction, prevent transmission of the second memory transaction for an amount of time based on the consumed bandwidth.
