Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a cloud computing network and a method of transferring information among processing nodes in a cloud computing network. In one embodiment, a cloud computing network is disclosed herein. The cloud computing network includes a plurality of motherboards arranged in racks. Each individual motherboard includes a central hub and a plurality of processing nodes equipped to the central hub. Each processing node is configured to access memory or storage space of another processing node in the same motherboard by intermediation of the hub. The access is called a communication between a pair of processing nodes. The communication includes a string of information transmitted between processing nodes. The string of information has a plurality of frames. Each frame includes a plurality of time slots, wherein each time slot is allotted a specific node pair.
