Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided which dynamically alters SDRAM memory interface timings to provide minimum read access latencies for different types of memory accesses in a memory subsystem of a computer system. The dynamic alteration of the SDRAM memory interface timings is based on workload and is determined with information from the memory controller read queue.
