1. A method for deduplicated data processing rate control using at least one processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:

  • configuring a plurality of workers for parallel processing of deduplicated data entities in a plurality of chunks; and

    regulating a deduplicated data processing rate using a rate control mechanism, the rate control mechanism incorporating a debt/credit algorithm specifying which of the plurality of workers processing the deduplicated data entities must wait for each of a plurality of calculated required sleep times;

    wherein;

    the rate control mechanism is adapted to limit a data flow rate based on a penalty acquired during a last processing of one of the plurality of chunks in a retroactive manner, andthe rate control mechanism is further adapted to operate on at least one vector representation of at least one limit specification to accommodate a variety of available dimensions corresponding to the at least one limit specification.
