As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, respective amounts of bandwidth are allocated to respective application groups for each memory access cycle in a set of memory access cycles. Initial bonus bandwidth is provided to a first one of the application groups during one of the memory access cycles. The bonus bandwidth may include at least a portion of bandwidth allocated to and unused by one of the other respective application groups during the memory access cycle. Additional bonus bandwidth is selectively provided to the first application group during one of the memory access cycles based on the initial bonus bandwidth and a maximum amount of bonus bandwidth defined for the set of memory access cycles, in response to bandwidth allocated to one of the other respective application groups during the subsequent memory access cycle being unused.
