METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONGESTION-AWARE ROUTING IN A COMPUTER INTERCONNECTION NETWORK

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an example of a method for a first router to adaptively determine status within a network. The network may include the first router, a second router and a third router. The method for the first router may comprise determining status information regarding the second router located in the network, and transmitting the status information to the third router located in the network. The second router and the third router may be indirectly coupled to one another.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a plurality of processor nodes, wherein a processor node of the plurality of processor nodes includes:
a processor unit configured to perform processor tasks; anda router configured to route data to another processor node of the plurality of processor nodes via a first network based on non-local status information; wherein the processor node of the plurality of processor nodes is configured to provide the data to an adjacent processor node of the plurality of processor nodes along a route of the first network determined by the router, and wherein the processor node of the plurality of processor nodes is further configured to receive the non-local status information from at least one other processor node of the plurality of processor nodes via a second network.
