Abstract

We present a proof that in a model of a fat-tree network with n processing nodes m=0. Unlike previously applied proof methods, we use an approximating model for the collision behavior of the network amenable to concise yet simple theoretical analysis. We justify the accuracy of the approximation by means of behavioral simulations based on a gate-level implementation of a fat-tree network.
