摘要： A method of topology discovery and identification of switches enables a user to determine the topology of a N-stage switch network. The method includes ascertaining an intended topology of the N-stage switch network, creating a list of switch boards present in the N-stage switch network, and determining a switch board connection pattern. The method further includes classifying each of the switch boards as an outer switch board, or an inner switch board, and creating a list for each type of switch board, classifying each of the switch boards on the OB list as stage 1, stage 2, or unknown, classifying each of the switch boards on the IB list as stage 3 to stage N, grouping the stage 2 and stage 1 switch boards into sectors, and numbering each type of switch board, thereby obtaining a determined topology, and validating the determined topology by comparing it to the intended topology.

摘要： Topology discovery and identification of switches enables a user to determine the topology of a three-stage switch network. The method includes ascertaining an intended topology of the three-stage switch network, creating a list of switch boards that are present in the three-stage switch network, and determining a switch board connection pattern by obtaining information indicating how each switch board is connected to neighboring switch boards. The method further includes classifying each of the switch boards on the list of switch boards as a node switch board, an intermediate switch board, or a jump switch board, and creating a list for each type of switch board. The method further includes grouping the intermediate and node switch boards into sectors, and numbering each type of switch board, thereby obtaining a determined topology, and validating the determined topology by comparing it to the intended topology.

摘要： A method of validating a configuration of a computer clusters includes transmitting a first neighbor identification to a first flexible service processor (FSP) arranged in the first computer cluster and a second neighbor identification to a second FSP arranged in the second computer cluster, connecting a first end of a cable to a first transceiver arranged in the first cluster and connecting a second end of the cable to a second transceiver arranged in the second cluster. The first neighbor identification is passed from the first transceiver to the second computer cluster and the second neighbor identification is passed from the second transceiver toward the first computer cluster. The first neighbor identification is compared with a desired first neighbor identification to establish a first comparison result, and the second neighbor identification is compared with a desired second neighbor identification to establish a second comparison result and a notice is generated.

摘要： Endpoint identifiers are dynamically assigned to network interfaces, in response to a change in physical connection. When a physical connection associated with a network interface is changed, such as a cable coupling the network interface to an endpoint is moved from one location to another location, a new endpoint identifier is assigned to the network interface. The new endpoint identifier is based on the location of the new endpoint.

摘要： A deterministic, non-deadlocking technique to achieving distributed consensus in a multithreaded multiprocessing computing environment is provided. A communicator is established across multiple processes in the multithreaded computer environment notwithstanding that multiple groups of threads may be simultaneously trying to establish communicators. The technique includes communicating across the multiple processes to establish a candidate identifier for the communicator for a group of participating threads of the multiple processes; and communicating across the multiple processes to check at each participating thread of the multiple processes whether the candidate identifier can be claimed at its process, and if so, claiming the candidate identifier as the new identifier thereby establishing the communicator. As one example, the technique can be implemented via a subroutine call within a message passing interface (MPI) library.
