Abstract
A method is described that includes receiving a plurality of streams of memory requests and each stream is associated with a source. The method further includes determining a bandwidth allocation for each stream, wherein each allocation represents a portion of a total bandwidth of a memory component managed by the subsystem and each allocation indicates a priority of a corresponding stream based on a corresponding source of each stream and assigning a set of credits to each stream based on the bandwidth allocations. The method also includes determining a memory command from a queue for issuance, wherein each memory command in the queue is associated with a stream and determining the memory command is based on the credits assigned to each stream such that commands associated with a stream with a higher number of credits is given priority for issuance over commands associated with a stream with a lower number.
