Abstract:
A method for the exchange of data between nodes of a server cluster includes a plurality of nodes interconnected together by a geographic interconnection network including a plurality of transmission segments linking the plurality of nodes together according to a predetermined limited number of several different connection directions respectively associated with several different coordinates of a system of coordinates, each transmission segment of the geographic interconnection network thus belonging to a single one of the different connection directions and the system of coordinates thus being defined such that each coordinate of the system of coordinates is associated with a single one of the different connection directions, the method including sending, by a sending node, data intended for at least one other receiving node; transmitting the data using the geographic interconnection network; and receiving the data by each the receiving node.
