Method and apparatus to establish, report and adjust system memory usage

摘要

A method is described that entails reading information from a non volatile storage or memory resource. The information is a threshold or information from which a threshold can be calculated. The information is particularly tailored for an operating environment that a system memory is recognized as being subjected to. The method also entails causing a memory controller to employ the threshold so as to control a rate at which the memory performs activities. The rate is less than that at which the system memory would experience a functional failure while being subjected to the operating environment
