Abstract
A root-node is coupled to each of multiple leaf-nodes directly or via one or more relay-nodes in a hierarchical topology. A processor in a relay-node holds, in a queue, a first instruction storing first data obtained by performing a predetermined operation using second data received from downstream-nodes, which are directly coupled to the relay-node and positioned on a leaf-node side of the relay-node in the hierarchical topology. A downstream-node generates a second instruction including the second data held in the downstream-node, and transmits the generated second instruction to the relay-node. A network interface card of the relay-node performs the predetermined operation by using the first data stored in the first instruction in the queue, and the second data included in the second instruction. The root-node performs the predetermined operation by using a result of at least one relay-node directly coupled to the root-node and having performed the predetermined operation.
