Abstract
A system includes multiple processors to communicate with one another at predefined time slots. A given processor among the processors is to (i) hold a predetermined schedule plan that specifies which of the other processors in the system are accessible to the given processor at which of the time slots, the predetermined schedule plan having been determined before receiving data for transmission from the given processors to the other processors, (ii) queue data that is destined to one or more of the other processors, and (iii) transmit the queued data in accordance with the predetermined schedule plan.
