Title: Mapping 2-dimensional meshes on 3-dimensional torus

Abstract

In a L×M×N 3D torus network of computer nodes, a 2-dimensional plane comprising M×N torus network of nodes mapped into M/2 meshes×2*N torus network of nodes. N can be k*M, k is an integer greater than zero, and M and N are even numbers. Each of M/2 mesh of the 2*N torus is contiguous in the 2D plane. Mapping is performed for each of the L planes of the L×M×N 3D torus network. The M/2 meshes are combined with a remaining torus network dimension comprising L planes, the combining creating another 2*N pattern, wherein an L*M/2×2*N communication pattern is created. Application entities are executed according to the mapped L*M/2×2*N communication pattern.
