  • DETECTION AND CONTROL OF RESOURCE CONGESTION BY A NUMBER OF PROCESSORS
    Publication number: 20160248695
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a resource. The system also includes a first processor having a load/store functional unit. The load/store functional unit is to attempt to access the resource based on access requests. The first processor includes a congestion detection logic to detect congestion of access of the resource based on a consecutive number of negative acknowledgements received in response to the access requests prior to receipt of a positive acknowledgment in response to one of the access requests within a first time period.
    Type: Application
