ABSTRACT:
A data processing system includes a first plane including a first plurality of processing nodes, each including multiple processing units, and a second plane including a second plurality of processing nodes, each including multiple processing units. The data processing system also includes a plurality of point-to-point first tier links. Each of the first plurality and second plurality of processing nodes includes one or more first tier links among the plurality of first tier links, where the first tier link(s) within each processing node connect a pair of processing units in the same processing node for communication. The data processing system further includes a plurality of point-to-point second tier links. At least a first of the plurality of second tier links connects processing units in different ones of the first plurality of processing nodes, at least a second of the plurality of second tier links connects processing units in different ones of the second plurality of processing nodes, and at least a third of the plurality of second tier links connects a processing unit in the first plane to a processing unit in the second plane.
