Abstract

The system includes a microprocessor, a first buffer, a second buffer, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a memory and an interface. The control circuit is configured to determine a first buffer value and compare the first buffer value to a predetermined value to obtain a result. The control circuit is further configured to control a read issue rate of the first buffer based on the result. The memory is configured to store at least one of the first buffer value, the result, the read issue rate, and the TAG.
