Abstract:
One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can determine a maximum cache command rate of a processor unit. For example, an interface of the processor unit is configured to be coupled to an interconnect of a multiprocessor system and is configured such that a first portion of the interface provides a signal to a second portion of the interface, where the first portion of the interface operates utilizing a known frequency and the second portion of the interface operates utilizing a cache frequency of the processor unit; the second portion of the interface circulates the signal; the first portion of the interface receives the signal from the second portion of the interface; the first portion of the interface determines a cache command rate based on the known frequency, the frequency of the cache, and the signal; and the interface provides information indicating the cache command rate to the interconnect.
