Abstract

Performing a scatterv operation on a hierarchical tree network optimized for collective operations including receiving, by the scatterv module installed on the node, from a nearest neighbor parent above the node a chunk of data having at least a portion of data for the node; maintaining, by the scatterv module installed on the node, the portion of the data for the node; determining, by the scatterv module installed on the node, whether any portions of the data are for a particular nearest neighbor child below the node or one or more other nodes below the particular nearest neighbor child; and sending, by the scatterv module installed on the node, those portions of data to the nearest neighbor child if any portions of the data are for a particular nearest neighbor child below the node or one or more other nodes below the particular nearest neighbor child.

Performing optimized collective operations in an irregular subcommunicator of compute nodes in a parallel computer

Patent Davis, Kristan D.; Faraj, Daniel A.

In a parallel computer, performing optimized collective operations in an irregular subcommunicator of compute nodes may be carried out by: identifying, within the irregular subcommunicator, regular neighborhoods of compute nodes; selecting, for each neighborhood from the compute nodes of the neighborhood, a local root node; assigning each local root node to a node of a neighborhood-wide tree topology; mapping, for each neighborhood, the compute nodes of the neighborhood to a local tree topology having, at its root, the local root node of the neighborhood; and performing a one way, rooted collective operation within the subcommunicator including: performing, in one phase,more »« less

Embedding global and collective in a torus network with message class map based tree path selection

Patent Chen, Dong; Coteus, Paul W.; Eisley, Noel A.; ...

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for embedding a global barrier and global interrupt network in a parallel computer system organized as a torus network. The computer system includes a multitude of nodes. In one embodiment, the method comprises taking inputs from a set of receivers of the nodes, dividing the inputs from the receivers into a plurality of classes, combining the inputs of each of the classes to obtain a result, and sending said result to a set of senders of the nodes. Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computermore »« less

Global tree network for computing structures enabling global processing operations

Patent Blumrich, ; Matthias, A [Ridgefield, CT]; Chen, Dong [Croton-On-Hudson, NY]; ...

A system and method for enabling high-speed, low-latency global tree network communications among processing nodes interconnected according to a tree network structure. The global tree network enables collective reduction operations to be performed during parallel algorithm operations executing in a computer structure having a plurality of the interconnected processing nodes. Router devices are included that interconnect the nodes of the tree via links to facilitate performance of low-latency global processing operations at nodes of the virtual tree and sub-tree structures. The global operations performed include one or more of: broadcast operations downstream from a root node to leaf nodes ofmore »« less

Method and apparatus of performing a memory operation in a hierarchical memory assembly

Patent Yudanov, Dmitri

A method and apparatus of performing a memory operation includes receiving a memory operation request at a first memory controller that is in communication with a second memory controller. The first memory controller forwards the memory operation request to the second memory controller. Upon receipt of the memory operation request, the second memory controller provides first information or second information depending on a condition of a pseudo-bank of the second memory controller and a type of the memory operation request.
