Mapping 2-dimensional meshes on 3-dimensional torus

In a L×M×N 3D torus network of computer nodes, a 2-dimensional plane comprising M×N torus network of nodes mapped into M/2 meshes×2*N torus network of nodes. N can be k*M, k is an integer greater than zero, and M and N are even numbers. Each of M/2 mesh of the 2*N torus is contiguous in the 2D plane. Mapping is performed for each of the L planes of the L×M×N 3D torus network. The M/2 meshes are combined with a remaining torus network dimension comprising L planes, the combining creating another 2*N pattern, wherein an L*M/2×2*N communication pattern is created. Application entities are executed according to the mapped L*M/2×2*N communication pattern.

Reliability processing of remote direct memory access

Methods and systems for monitoring remote transmissions of messages among a plurality of nodes are described. A processing element in a first node may allocate a sequence number to a request to read and/or update data in a second node. The processing element may be different from main processors of the first node. The processing element may send the message and the sequence number to the second node. The processing element may modify a status of the sequence number to an active state, indicating a transmission of the message is pending. The processing element may, in response to a response from the second node, modify the status of the sequence number to an inactive state, indicating a completed transmission of the message. The processing element may, in response to no response from the second node within a time period, resend the message and the sequence number to the second node.

Reduced number of counters for reliable messaging

A shared memory maintained by sender processes stores a sequence number counter per destination process. A sender process increments the sequence number counter in the shared memory in sending a message to a destination process. The sender process sends a data packet comprising the message and at least a sequence number specified by the sequence number counter. All of the sender processes share a sequence number counter per destination process, each of the sender processes incrementing the sequence number counter in sending a respective message. Receiver processes run on the hardware processor, each of the receiver processes maintaining a local memory counter on the memory, the local memory counter associated with a sending node. The local memory counter stores a sequence number of a message received from the sending node. The receiver process delivers incoming data packets ordered by sequence numbers of the data packets.
