Abstract
Determining a path for network traffic between a source compute node and a destination compute node in a parallel computer including identifying a group of compute nodes, the group of compute nodes having topological network locations included in a predefined topological shape; selecting, from the predefined topological shape, in dependence upon a global contention counter stored on the source compute node, a path on which to send a data communications message from the source compute node to the destination compute node; and sending, by the messaging module of the source compute node, the data communications message along the selected path for network traffic between the source and destination compute nodes.
