Abstract

Various embodiments for deduplicated data processing congestion control in a computing environment are provided. In one such embodiment, a single congestion metric is determined from a sampling of a plurality of combined deduplicated data processing congestion statistics in a number of active deduplicated data processes. The congestion limit is calculated from a comparison of the single congestion metric to a congestion target setpoint, the congestion target setpoint being a virtual dimension setpoint and the congestion limit being a manipulated variable. The number of active deduplicated data processes is compared to the congestion limit. If the number of active deduplicated data processes is less than the congestion limit, a new deduplicated data process is spawned.
