In an interconnection network, multiple nodes are connected to one of a first layer of switches. The first layer of switches is connected to one another through a second layer of switches. Each of the nodes is connected through one of multiple shared links connecting the first layer switches and the second layer of switches. A pipelined broadcast manager schedules broadcast steps for a pipelined broadcast through the crossbar switches according to each separate, single static route set through at least one of an inter-switch broadcast phase during which at least one packet is passed from at least one switch of the crossbar switches to another of the crossbar switches and an intra-switch broadcast phase during which the at least one packet is passed only among a selection of nodes connected to the another of the crossbar switches. |
