Data Transmission System and Method, and Related Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356475 titled 'Data Transmission System and Method, and Related Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that consists of multiple nodes and accelerators. These accelerators are connected to each other within each node through a communication link. Communication planes are created between accelerators in different nodes, with each plane having one accelerator from each node.
- The system allows for the exchange of data between accelerators in different nodes through communication planes.
- A first accelerator in a node receives data from another accelerator in the same node, which includes data intended for a second accelerator in a different node.
- The first accelerator then transmits this data to the second accelerator through a separate communication link.
Potential Applications
- High-performance computing systems
- Distributed data processing systems
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications
Problems Solved
- Facilitates efficient communication and data exchange between accelerators in different nodes.
- Enables parallel processing and distributed computing.
- Reduces latency and improves overall system performance.
Benefits
- Faster data transfer between accelerators in different nodes.
- Improved scalability and performance of the system.
- Enables complex computations and data processing across multiple nodes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a plurality of nodes, and a plurality of accelerators in each node are connected to each other through a first communication link. A plurality of communication planes is constructed between accelerators in the plurality of nodes. Each communication plane includes one accelerator in each node. A first accelerator in a first node obtains first data sent by another accelerator in the first node, and the first data includes data to be sent by the other accelerator in the first node to a second accelerator in a second node. Then, the first accelerator sends the first data to the second accelerator through the second communication link.
