RECURSIVE, ALL-TO-ALL NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

摘要

An apparatus comprises an interconnection network comprising NK nodes, wherein N is an integer of two or greater and represents a degree of the network, wherein each node comprises N ports, wherein K is an integer of one or greater and represents a recursion level of the network, and wherein N ports are left available for recursion, and NK-1 clusters of nodes, wherein each cluster comprises N nodes, wherein each node within each cluster is directly connected to each remaining node in the cluster, and wherein each cluster is directly connected to at least one remaining cluster.
