Optimized data communication in hierarchical networks

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for allocation of network resources. An example system receives, from a user input device, a data distribution task with execution parameters that include a plurality of data portions and a plurality of hosts; determines a plurality of points of delivery (PODs), wherein the plurality of PODs comprises a plurality of switches, wherein each switch is associated with a radix (k); operatively couples the plurality of PODs to the plurality of hosts to configure a network structure; identifies at least one destination host for each source host based on at least the radix (k); and executes the data distribution task by transmitting respective portions of the plurality of data portions to from each source host to the at least one identified destination host via a corresponding subset of the plurality of PODs.
