ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for adaptively adjusting the bandwidth of a data transmission channel having multiple buffered paths. Each output path includes a buffer for holding respective portions of the data. A value representative of at least the number of buffers that are nearly empty of data as compared to a predetermined threshold is determined, and the transmission rate of the input path is adjusted according to the value. Preferably, the buffers are display pipes provided in a graphics controller IC for interfacing between one or more hosts and a graphics display device.
