In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can continually increase a command rate of an interconnect if one or more requests to lower the command rate are not received within one or more periods of time. In one example, the command rate can be set to a fastest level. In another example, the command rate can be incrementally increased over periods of time. If a request to lower the command rate is received, the command rate can be set to a reference level or can be decremented to one slower rate level. In one or more embodiments, the one or more requests to lower the command rate can be based on at least one of an issue rate of speculative commands and a number of overcommit failures, among others.
A method of operating a data processing system that includes an interconnect and a plurality of processor units coupled to the interconnect, the method comprising:
