Abstract
Embodiments include processing commands on multiprocessor chip having a plurality of nodes that are interconnected via a clockwise ring network and a counterclockwise ring network. Aspects include receiving a command for execution and based at least in part on a determination that the clockwise ring network and the counterclockwise ring network are both available for transmission, performing a bidirectional execution of the command. The bidirectional execution includes transmitting a first warning signal on the clockwise ring network and a second warning signal on the counterclockwise ring network, transmitting the command on the clockwise ring network a first number of clock cycles after the first warning signal, and transmitting the command on the counterclockwise ring network a second number of clock cycles after the second warning signal.
