Abstract
A parallel-processing system that is capable of dynamically creating a distributed tree for distributing data. The system includes a plurality of first nodes. Each of the plurality of first nodes is capable of establishing a connection with at least one of the plurality of first nodes to form at least a portion of a dynamically created distribution tree. The system also includes a second node that is capable of receiving data for distribution within the parallel-processing system. The second node is also capable of establishing a connection with at least two of the plurality of first nodes. In this particular embodiment, the second node and the plurality of first nodes operate to form the dynamically created distribution tree. Moreover, the second node also operates to distribute the data to each of the plurality of first nodes through the dynamically created distribution tree.
