Torus fusion


Torus fusion is a proprietary computer network topology for supercomputers developed by Fujitsu. It is a variant of the torus interconnect. The system has been used in the K computer and the Fugaku supercomputer.
Tofu has a six-dimensional mesh/torus topology, a scalability of over 100,000 nodes, and full-duplex links that have a peak bandwidth of 10 GB/s. Each node is connected to its own InterConnect Controller chip, which contains four Tofu interfaces and a router.

Software support

Tofu's six-dimensional mesh/torus topology is abstracted by software to appear as a three-dimensional torus; it is supported by a Tofu-optimized version of the open-source Open MPI Message Passing Interface library. Users can create application programs adapted to either a one-, two-, or three-dimensional torus network.
