Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can send, via an interconnect, a rate master command to at least one of multiple processing nodes; determine that a message indicating a dropped command, associated with the rate master command, is received; determine that a count, associated with dropped commands, satisfies a threshold; and provide, to the processing nodes via the interconnect, a signal indicating a command rate, in response to determining that the count satisfies the threshold. Moreover, the count can be incremented in response to determining that the message is received. The at least one of multiple processing nodes can receive, via the interconnect, the signal indicating the command rate and can utilize the command rate in issuing speculative commands, via the interconnect.
