<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of times of relaying a packet between nodes and to make node circuit configurations unique and simple in an interconnected network composed in a grid shape. <P>SOLUTION: A first node 11 and a third node 13 can transmit a packet to a computer cluster adjacent in an X direction. A second node 12 and a fourth node 14 can transmit a packet to a computer cluster adjacent in a Y direction. Individual nodes directly transmit a packet when a computer cluster of a packet transfer destination is located in the direction where the node themselves can transmit the packet. On the other hand, when the computer cluster of the packet transfer destination is not located in the direction where the nodes themselves can transmit the packet, the nodes transmit the packet to other node through an inner communication network 15 and request the other node to transfer the packet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
