A method and apparatus for performing network transfer adaptive optimization in a computing system. The method includes forming a message to be transferred through the network based on obtained information related to a task executed by computing nodes, wherein the message includes identification of the computing nodes to perform data transfer and corresponding sink nodes, and an amount of data the computing nodes to transfer to the corresponding sink nodes; transferring the message to a network layer; and forming a data transfer pattern for data transfer between the computing nodes and the corresponding sink nodes in accordance with the message.
