Abstract
In this paper, we present PolarStar, a novel family of diameter-3 network topologies derived from the star product of two low-diameter factor graphs. The proposed PolarStar construction gives the largest known diameter-3 network topologies for almost all radixes. When compared to state-of-the-art diameter-3 networks, PolarStar achieves 31% geometric mean increase in scale over Bundlefly, 91% over Dragonfly, and 690% over 3-D HyperX.
PolarStar has many other desirable properties including a modular layout, large bisection, high resilience to link failures and a large number of feasible sizes for every radix. Our evaluation shows that it exhibits comparable or better performance than other diameter-3 networks under various traffic patterns. Show more
