Abstract
A method of generating a plurality of potential generalized fat tree network (GFT) topologies is provided herein. The method includes receiving parameters that specify a number of servers, a number of switches, and a number of ports in the switches. The parameters are for configuring an GFT topology. The method also includes generating a plurality of potential GFT topologies based on heuristics that favor higher bandwidth and lower latency. Generating the plurality of potential GFT topologies includes generating each level of the potential GFT topologies, recursively, and from a bottom level of a potential GFT topology to a top level.
