Method and system for transmitting messages in an interconnection network

摘要

A method for transmitting messages in an interconnection network may include message initiating elements, message switching elements, and message destination elements. The messages may include a header and a content and are destined for processing elements capable of processing a data quantum of the content of a message independently of the other data quanta of the content of the message. The transmission of a first message is started by a switching agent, the header of the first message is stored, the transmission of the first message is interrupted when commanded and then the transmission of a second message is started whose content is the non-transmitted part of the content of the first message.
