Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for method for reducing memory subsystem power. In an exemplary method, a system resource manager provides memory performance requirements for a plurality of memory clients to a double data rate (DDR) subsystem. The DDR subsystem and the system resource manager reside on a system on chip (SoC) electrically coupled to a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). A cache hit rate is determined of each of the plurality of memory clients associated with a system cache residing on the DDR subsystem. The DDR subsystem controls a DDR clock frequency based on the memory performance requirements received from the system resource manager and the cache hit rates of the plurality of memory clients.
