ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system and method for dynamically altering the speed of a bus based on utilization of the bus. The system will monitor a bus for a predetermined number of clock cycles. The system will then lower the frequency that the bus runs at if the bus is underutilized, or the system will increase the frequency that the bus runs at if the bus is at or nearing saturation.
