Parallel Processing

However, the overall system throughput is limited by the slowest process in the chain. To improve throughput we can deploy multiple parallel instances of that process to improve throughput. In this scenario, a Point-to-Point Channel with Competing Consumers is needed to guarantee that each message on the channel is consumed by exactly one of N available processors. This allows us to speed up the most time-intensive process and improve overall throughput. However, this configuration can cause messages to be processed out of order. If the sequence of messages is critical, we can only run one instance of each component or use a Resequencer.
