System and method to provide default multicast proxy for scalable forwarding of announcements and information request intercepting in a high performance computing environment

Abstract:

Systems and methods to provide default multicast group (MCG) proxy for scalable forwarding of announcements and information request intercepting in a high performance computing environment, in accordance with an embodiment. In accordance with an embodiment, in order to scale the protocols to cover arbitrary number of nodes, a hierarchical scheme can be introduced where the total system is divided into multiple domains where each such domain is represented by an MCG Proxy instance for the relevant protocols.
