Abstract: Systems and techniques for performing multicast-reduction operations. In at least one embodiment, a network device receives first network data associated with a multicast operation to be collectively performed by at least a plurality of endpoints. The network device reserves resources to process second network data to be received from the endpoints, and sends the first network data to a plurality of additional network devices. The network device receives the second network data, and processes the second network data using the reserved resources.

Abstract: A system and method for interconnecting a plurality of processing element nodes within a scalable multiprocessor system is provided. Each processing element node includes at least one processor and memory. A scalable interconnect network includes physical communication links interconnecting the processing element nodes in a cluster. A first set of routers in the scalable interconnect network route messages between the plurality of processing element nodes. One or more metarouters in the scalable interconnect network route messages between the first set of routers so that each one of the routers in a first cluster is connected to all other clusters through one or more metarouters.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access by a set of accessing nodes to memory of a home node (in a multimode computer system) determines that each node in the set of nodes has accessed the memory, and forwards a completion message to each node in the set of nodes after it is determined that each node has accessed the memory. The completion message has data indicating that each node in the set of nodes has accessed the memory of the home node.
