Abstract: A source network device may transmit a lock request including a request for a network clement to allocate resources in association with an operation of a reduction tree. The source network device may transmit collision information associated with the lock request in response to receiving a lock failure notification indicating that one or more network elements have failed to allocate the resources. A network element may receive, from one or more child nodes, lock requests defined for a data-reduction operation associated with a data-reduction flow. The network clement may propagate a received lock request to a parent node. A root network device may transmit a lock command to network elements of a reduction tree. The lock command includes a request for an allocation of resources. The root network device may transmit collision information associated with the lock command in response to receiving a lock failure notification.

Abstract: A network element includes a transmit-queue for transmitting packets from at least two sources, each source having a predefined priority level, to a headroom buffer in a peer network element. Flow-control circuitry receives from the peer network element signaling that indicates a number of credits for transmitting packets to the peer network element, manages a current number of credits available for transmission from the transmit-queue, responsive to the signaling, selects a threshold priority based on the current number of credits for the transmit-queue; and transmits packets associated with data sources of the transmit-queue that are higher in priority than the threshold priority, and refrain from transmitting other packets associated with the transmit-queue.

Abstract: A method includes providing a plurality of processes interconnected by a network, each of the plurality of processes being configured to hold a block of data destined for others of the plurality of processes. A set of data for all-to-all data exchange is received from one or more of the processes. The set of data is configured as a plurality of blocks of data in a matrix as matrix data, the matrix being distributed among the plurality of processes. The matrix data is transposed by changing the position of selected blocks of data of the plurality of blocks of data relative to the other blocks of data of the plurality of the blocks of data, without changing the structure of each of the blocks of data. The transposed matrix data is over the network and is then received, repacked, and conveyed to destination processes.
