ABSTRACT:
Systems and apparatus are described for all-to-all interconnect fabric generated monotonically increasing transaction identifiers. A method includes usage of an all-to-all interconnect fabric generated monotonically increasing transaction identifier to coordinate timing of events on an all-to-all interconnect fabric wherein a) multiple computer elements share the interconnect fabric, b) additional nodes add to total system bandwidth, c) all nodes see all messages from all nodes and any one node can send a message to all nodes with a single command and d) a single failing transmitter effects only the communication of that node.
