Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described that use transaction queue lengths to alter a clock frequency that controls access to a memory of an electronic device. Techniques include detecting that a transaction queue threshold has been violated, initiating a counter to measure a time duration, determining that the transaction queue threshold continues to be violated for the time duration and, in response, altering the clock frequency that controls access to the memory of the electronic device.
