ABSTRACT:
In a massively parallel processing (MPP) system, data transmission between a first routing element to a buffer in a second routing element can be controlled more efficiently by generating a high and low watermark for the buffer, wherein the watermark values are based on a period of time required to transmit data between the routing elements. The amount of data stored in the buffer is then continuously compared to the high watermark value, and if the amount of data in the buffer is greater than or equal to the high watermark value, the first routing element becomes blocked from transmitting additional data to the buffer in the second routing element.
