Abstract
Dynamic power dissipation in an integrated circuit device is related to switching activity and can degrade performance or cause premature failure. Methods and apparatuses for dynamic power reduction by limiting data transfer requests between execution engines and memory are provided. Data transfer limiter blocks can be associated with execution engines of the integrated circuit device. Each data transfer limiter block may include a set of counters to control a number of data transfer requests from an execution engine that are permitted to reach the memory in a specified period of time. The counters may incrementally increase the number of data transfer requests permitted to reach the memory subsystem from an initial number up to a maximum number of data transfer requests in the specified period of time.
