Abstract
Node interconnect architectures to implement a high performance supercomputer are provided. For example, a node interconnect architecture for connecting a multitude of nodes (or processors) of a supercomputer is implemented using an all-to-all electrical and optical connection network which provides two independent communication paths between any two processors of the supercomputer, wherein a communication path includes at most two electrical links and one optical link.
