Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to multicast a transaction to a group of targets. In at least one embodiment, a set is selected from alternate sets of directives associated with the group of targets, and the transaction is transmitted to the group of targets in accordance with the selected set.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- one or more circuits comprising circuitry to:
- obtain, at a graphics processing unit (GPU)-to-GPU link system, a transaction from at least one GPU that is addressed to a group of targets;
- identify alternate sets of directives usable to transmit the transaction to the group of targets using switches of the GPU-to-GPU link system;
- and
- transmit the transaction to the group of targets over the GPU-to-GPU link system in accordance with a selected set of the alternate sets of directives.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a graphics processing unit (GPU)-to-GPU link system and from at least one GPU, a transaction addressed to a group of targets connected to the GPU-to-GPU link system;
- identifying sets of directives to transmit the transaction over a portion of a plurality of switches of the GPU-to-GPU link system to the group of targets;
- and
- transmitting the transaction to the group of targets over one or more of the plurality of switches in accordance with a directive set selected from the sets of directives.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a graphics processing unit (GPU)-to-GPU link comprising a plurality of switches;
- and
- at least one processor connected to at least portion of the plurality of switches, the at least one processor to:
- obtain a transaction from at least one GPU that is addressed to a group of targets;
- identify alternate sets of directives usable to transmit the transaction to the group of targets using the plurality of switches;
- and
- transmit the transaction to the group of targets over at least a portion of the plurality of switches in accordance with a selected set of the alternate sets of directives.
