Abstract
A technique for operating a data processing system includes determining, by an arbiter of a processing unit of the data processing system, whether an over-commit has occurred. In response to determining that the over-commit has occurred, the arbiter selects a broadcast command to be dropped based on a number of hops traversed through the data processing system by the broadcast command.
