- The new extension to the well-known Fat Trees interconnections for high performance data centres and parallel systems presented in this paper allows switches of any radix to interconnect without affecting the symmetry of the system, hence, achieving higher bandwidth with a high level of fault tolerance. Unlike other extensions that are limited in their scope, our work can be used for general-purpose parallel applications. Other researchers built on this work for bandwidth steering (e.g. Michelogiannakis et al., ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference, 2019, art. 41) and to improve fault tolerance (Xu et al., Neurocomputing, 393, 2020).
