Techniques for collective operations in distributed systems

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1892897

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for collective operations among compute nodes in a distributed processing set, such as by utilizing ring sets and local sets of the distributed processing set. In some embodiments, a ring set may include a subset of the distributed processing set in which each compute node is connected to a network with a separate router. In various embodiments, a local set may include a subset of the distributed processing set in which each compute node is connected to a network with a common router. In one or more embodiments, each compute node in a distributed processing set may belong to one ring set and one local set.
