We study the possibility of designing $N^{o(1)}$-round protocols for problems of substantially super-linear polynomial-time (sequential) complexity in the model of Massively Parallel Computation, where $N$ is the input size. We show that if the machines are not equipped with relatively large local memory and their number does not exceed $N$, then the exponent of the average time complexity of the local computation performed by a machine in a round (in terms of local memory size) in such protocols must be larger than the exponent of the time complexity of the given problem.
