The Software Interface for a Cluster Interconnect Based on the Kautz Digraph
2007 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CLUSTER COMPUTING, 187-193, 2007
The Kautz digraph [1,2] has been described as the ideal communication network for parallel computers, but it is generally unknown in the engineering community, and has never previously been used in a commercial product. We will define and characterize it in relation to HPC clusters, then discuss some of the implementation issues encountered in developing it as a large-scale cluster interconnect. The software interface to this interconnect is explained with some initial experiences with performance benchmarks.
