Abstract
A method of packet distribution in a multi-tile processing system may include receiving, at a first tile of a multi-tile processing system, a first packet from a second tile of the multi-tile processing system. The first packet may include network congestion data indicating network congestion of one or more tiles of the multi-tile processing system in a network path between the first tile and the second tile. The method may further include selecting, by the first tile based on the network congestion data, a packet distribution method for sending a second packet from the first tile to the second tile.
Claims20
A method of packet distribution in a multi-tile processing system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first tile of a multi-tile processing system, a first packet from a second tile of the multi-tile processing system, the first packet including network congestion data indicating network congestion of one or more tiles of the multi-tile processing system in a network path between the first tile and the second tile;
- and
- selecting, by the first tile based on the network congestion data, a packet distribution method for sending a second packet from the first tile to the second tile.
A multi-tile processing system comprising:
- a plurality of tiles that each include a memory cache that are shared between the tiles, a first tile of the plurality of tiles is configured to:
- receive a first packet from a second tile of the plurality of tiles, the first packet including network congestion data indicating network congestion of the plurality of tiles in a network path between the first tile and the second tile;
- and
- select, based on the network congestion data, a packet distribution method for sending a second packet from the first tile to the second tile.
