Some embodiments provide a method of managing communication between endpoint processing units (EPUs) connected through a network having multiple forwarding elements, each of which has a data plane circuit to forward data messages exchanged between EPUs and a control plane circuit to configure the data plane circuit. The method assigns, for each particular EPU, one particular CP circuit of one forwarding element to operate as a leader CP circuit to configure the network interface of the particular EPU to forward data messages through the network. The method distributes configuration data to the CP circuits of the forwarding elements. Each particular CP circuit uses its received configuration data to instruct the network interfaces of each particular EPU for which the CP circuit is a leader to perform the desired forwarding operations to forward results of computations of the particular EPUs through the network.
A method of managing communication between endpoint processing units (EPUs) connected through a network comprising a plurality of forwarding elements each of which has a data plane circuit to forward data messages exchanged between EPUs and a control plane (CP) circuit to configure the data plane circuit, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing program that when executed by at least one processor manages communication between graphics processing units (GPUs) connected through a network comprising a plurality of forwarding elements each of which has a data plane circuit to forward data messages exchanged between GPUs and a control plane (CP) circuit to configure the data plane circuit, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
