Abstract

Torus topology is widely used in the largest supercomputers, and specially three-dimensional torus. To implement a 3D torus topology, six ports (links) per node are needed, which can be offered by a single or several communication cards. We showed how to build 3D tori by using two four-port low-profile cards per node, and since there are multiple ways of assigning the dimension and direction of the card ports, we found the optimal port configuration [2]. In these tori, routing becomes a challenge because deadlocks can appear due to the use of the link interconnecting the two cards in the nodes. In this paper we study this problem and present two different alternatives based on the DOR routing scheme.
