Abstract
A massively parallel computer system including a plurality of processing nodes under control of a system controller. The processing nodes are interconnected by a plurality of communications links. Each processing node comprises at least one processor, a memory, and a router node connected to the communications links for transferring in a series of message transfer cycles messages over the communications links. The controller enables each processing node to establish a message queue in its memory. The controller further enables storage of messages received by the processing nodes for their respective processors during a message transfer cycle to be stored in the message queue.
