Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a first group of computing nodes and a second group of computing nodes, wherein the first and second groups are neighboring devices and each of the first and second groups comprising:
a set of computing nodes A-D, and
a set of intra-group interconnects, wherein the set of intra-group interconnects communicatively couple computing node A with computing nodes B and C and computing node D with computing nodes B and C; and

a first set of inter-group interconnects communicatively coupling the first group with the second group,
wherein the first and second groups are grouped into a plurality of sub-sections,
wherein a number of square sub-sections is maximized within the first and second groups,
wherein, for each of a plurality of incoming computing tasks to the system:
a different computing task is allocated to a different sub-section, and
a respective computing task is first allocated to a square sub-section over a non-square sub-section.
