Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for performing collective operations on a hybrid distributed processing system that includes a plurality of compute nodes and a plurality of tasks, each task is assigned a unique rank, and each compute node is coupled for data communications by at least two different networking topologies. At least one of the two networking topologies is a tiered tree topology having a root task and at least two child tasks and the at least two child tasks are peers of one another in the same tier. Embodiments include for each task, sending at least a portion of data corresponding to the task to all child tasks of the task through the tree topology; and sending at least a portion of the data corresponding to the task to all peers of the task at the same tier in the tree topology through the second topology.
Apparatus for performing collective operations on a hybrid distributed processing system, the hybrid distributed processing system including a plurality of compute nodes, each compute node having a plurality of tasks, each task assigned a unique rank, each compute node coupled for data communications by at least one data communications network implementing at least two different networking topologies, wherein at least one of the two networking topologies is a tiered tree topology having a root task and at least two child tasks, and wherein at least two child tasks are peers of one another in the same tier, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
