ABSTRACT:
A system and method that can receive, buffer, and asynchronously combine data from various incoming data packets is disclosed. The system and method can do so by, first, receiving incoming packets of one or multiple generations that have incoming data and incoming metadata, with the incoming data of each of the incoming packets that are of a first generation being a combination of a first, original set of data vectors, and the incoming metadata of each of the first generation of incoming packets including an indicator for the first generation. Second, once these incoming packets are received, the system and method can buffer them based on the indicator and, asynchronously from the receiving and buffering, combine the incoming data in the buffered, first generation incoming packets into outgoing data in an outgoing packet.
