Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research clarified how to design an ultra-low-latency network that connects tens of thousands of computers within a large-scale parallel computing systems such as next-generation supercomputers. We developed a sophisticated method to design a network topology and a routing algorithm that minimizes the end-to-end latency. Existng design method for supercomputer networks did not take a cable delay into account, of which our proposed method explicitly take care. When comparing to a former state-of-the-art network design, our design achieves merely 6% higher communication latency while consuming 65% smaller amount of cable. As such, our proposed design method provides a desirable trade-off between cost and performance.
