Abstract
Determining a path for network traffic between a source compute node and a destination compute node in a parallel computer including: beginning with an identified group of compute nodes that includes the source compute node and iteratively until an identified group of compute nodes includes the destination compute node: identifying a group of compute nodes, the group of compute nodes having topological network locations included in a predefined topological shape; selecting a path for network traffic between compute nodes having topological network locations included in the predefined topological shape, and when an identified group of compute nodes includes the destination compute node: selecting a final path for network traffic; and sending a data communications message along the path for network traffic between the source compute node and the destination compute node, the path including, in order of selection, the selected paths and the selected final path.
