  • Patent number: 10554497
    Abstract: A method for the exchange of data between nodes of a server cluster includes a plurality of nodes interconnected together by a geographic interconnection network including a plurality of transmission segments linking the plurality of nodes together according to a predetermined limited number of several different connection directions respectively associated with several different coordinates of a system of coordinates, each transmission segment of the geographic interconnection network thus belonging to a single one of the different connection directions and the system of coordinates thus being defined such that each coordinate of the system of coordinates is associated with a single one of the different connection directions, the method including sending, by a sending node, data intended for at least one other receiving node; transmitting the data using the geographic interconnection network; and receiving the data by each the receiving node.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9712395
    Abstract: A method for the exchange of data between nodes of a server cluster comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected together by a geographic interconnection network comprising a plurality of transmission segments linking the nodes together, including sending by a sending node, data intended for at least one other node, or receiving node, transmitting the data using the geographic interconnection network, receiving the data by each receive node, supplying the data to each receiving node with information relating to the transmission segments of the geographic interconnection network traversed between the sending node and this receiving node on the transmission thereof.
