Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allocating memory bandwidth of multiple CPU cores in a server includes: receiving an access request to a last level cache (LLC) shared by the multiple CPU cores in the server, the access request being sent from a core with a private cache holding copies of frequently accessed data from a memory; determining whether the access request is an LLC hit or an LLC miss; and controlling a memory bandwidth controller based on the determination. The memory bandwidth controller performs a memory bandwidth throttling to control a request rate between the private cache and the last level cache. The LLC hit of the access request causes the memory bandwidth throttling initiated by the memory bandwidth controller to be disabled and the LLC miss of the access request causes the memory bandwidth throttling initiated by the memory bandwidth controller to be enabled.
