    摘要: A method and system are provided for limiting unnecessary data traffic on the data communication connections connecting various system components, including the various levels of system memory. Some embodiments may include processing a buffer allotment request and/or a buffer release command in coordination with a system or network operation requiring temporary storage of data in a memory buffer. The buffer allotment request may be capable of indicating the amount of storage space required on the memory buffer to execute the system or network operation. The system may be capable of precluding the system or network operation from executing until there is sufficient space in the memory buffer to complete the operation without evicting operational data from the memory buffer. In some embodiments, the buffer release command may signal completion of the system or network operation and release of the utilized memory buffer space for other operations.
