ABSTRACT:
A memory controller, method and program product for memory controller optimization by active re-prioritization of requests based on memory bus activity. The invention continually monitors memory bus activity and, where necessary, re-prioritizes a queue of pending memory requests. In addition, mechanisms are provided to abort an existing request on a memory bus, and interrupt an existing request to complete a pending request.
