SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING TARGET GROUPS FOR CONGESTION CONTROL IN A PRIVATE FABRIC IN A HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056397 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING TARGET GROUPS FOR CONGESTION CONTROL IN A PRIVATE FABRIC IN A HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for supporting target groups for congestion control in a private fabric in a high performance computing environment.

  • Defines a target group on an inter-switch link or at a port of a switch to set bandwidth limits.
  • Stores defined target groups in a target group repository in the memory of a host channel adapter.
  • Supports congestion control in a private fabric with switches, host channel adapters, end nodes, and virtual machines.
    • Potential Applications:**

- High performance computing environments - Data centers - Networking infrastructure

    • Problems Solved:**

- Congestion control in high performance computing environments - Efficient bandwidth management in private fabrics - Optimizing network performance in data centers

    • Benefits:**

- Improved network performance - Enhanced congestion control - Efficient bandwidth allocation - Better management of network resources


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for supporting target groups for congestion control in a private fabric in a high performance computing environment. an exemplary method can provide, at one or more microprocessors, a first subnet, the first subnet comprising a plurality of switches, a plurality of host channel adapters, and a plurality of end nodes, including a plurality of virtual machines. the method can define a target group on one of an inter-switch link or at a port of a switch of the plurality of switches, wherein the target group defines a bandwidth limit on the at least one of an inter-switch link between two switches of the plurality of switches or at a port of a switch of the plurality of switches. the method can provide a target group repository stored in a memory of the host channel adapter where the defined target group in the target group repository is recorded.
