  • Publication number: 20080114913
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for providing capacity on demand using control to alter latency and/or bandwidth on a signaling bus in a computer system. If additional capacity is required, authorization is requested for additional capacity. If authorized, bandwidth of the signaling bus is increased to provide additional capacity in the computing system. Alternatively, upon authorization, latency of data transmissions over the signaling bus is reduced. In another alternative, upon authorization, memory timings are adjusted to speed up memory fetches and stores.
    Type: Application
