A graph-based design for a flat-neighborhood symmetric cluster. (English) Zbl 1002.68501

Summary: Cluster computing is becoming an accepted form of supercomputing in the academe, government and industries around the world. The Ateneo High Performance Computing Group proposes a design for building a 384-processor cluster using a symmetric and flat networking neighborhood. A routing schema will also be developed to maximize this network topology. This design aims to demonstrate this new network topology. The networking topology will have to provide single-switch latency, minimized cost and maximized bandwidth. This makes it ideal for scaling of large clusters that require high bandwidth.
