Abstract:
Embodiments herein may present an integrated circuit including a switch, where the switch together with other switches forms a network of switches to perform a sequence of operations according to a structure of a collective tree. The switch includes a first number of input ports, a second number of output ports, a configurable crossbar to selectively couple the first number of input ports to the second number of output ports, and a computation engine coupled to the first number of input ports, the second number of output ports, and the crossbar. The computation engine of the switch performs an operation corresponding to an operation represented by a node of the collective tree. The switch further includes one or more registers to selectively configure the first number of input ports and the configurable crossbar. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
