Abstract: Multiple processors are often used in computing systems to solve very large, complex problems, such as those encountered in artificial intelligence. Such processors typically exchange data among each other via an interconnect fabric (such as, e.g., a group of network connections and switches) in solving such complex problems. The amount of data injected into the interconnect fabric by the processors can at times overwhelm the interconnect fabric preventing some of the processors from communicating with each other. To address this problem, techniques are disclosed to enable, for example, processors that are connected to an interconnect fabric to coordinate and control the amount of data injected so that the interconnect fabric does not get overwhelmed.
