Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed to monitor system performance and dynamically update memory subsystem settings using software to optimize system performance and power consumption. In an example embodiment, the apparatus monitors a software application's cache performance and provides the software application the cache performance data. The software application, which has a higher-level/macro view of the overall system and better determination of its future requests, analyzes the performance data to determine more optimal memory sub-system settings. The software application provides the system more optimal settings to implement in the memory component to improve the memory and overall system performance and efficiency.
