  • Parallel processing of reduction and broadcast operations on large datasets of non-scalar data
    Patent number: 11551138
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including instructions encoded on storage media, for performing reduction of gradient vectors and similarly structured data that are generated in parallel, for example, on nodes organized in a mesh or torus topology defined by connections in at least two dimension between the nodes. The methods provide parallel computation and communication between nodes in the topology.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2023

  • RECONFIGURATION OF AN OPTICAL CONNECTION INFRASTRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20140314417
    Abstract: An optical connection infrastructure has optical conduits between first devices and at least one second device. Dynamic reconfiguration of the optical connection infrastructure can be performed from a first connection topology to a second, different connection topology based on programming of the first devices.
