Optimizing switch port assignments

摘要

An embodiment of a method of designing an interconnect fabric for a set of nodes begins with a step of identifying the set of nodes, a switch, and a set of data flows. The switch comprises a set of ports. The data flows comprise transmissions between the nodes. The method concludes with a step of determining a near optimal assignment of the nodes to the ports of the switch according to a plurality of constraints and an objective.
