Abstract: Die Erfindung beschreibt den bezüglich des Schichtaufbaus unsymmetrischen Aufbau von zwei oder mehr Steinplatten - in der Regel zwei - wobei die tragende untere Platte stärker ausgelegt ist, als die zu stabilisierende obere Platte, welche die Oberfläche einer Induktionskochanordnung bildet. Die Dicke bzw. die Steifigkeit der untere Steinplatte ist in Verbindung mit einer ausreichend dimensionierten zugstabilen Faserschicht so ausgeführt, dass die durch die Ausdehnung der oberen Platte beim Kochen die Zugspannungen in der oberen Platte - insbesondere an der Oberfläche - durch den Bi-Metalleffekt - also durch das Schüsseln der Platte - nicht überschritten werden, um jegliche Haarrissbildung zu vermeiden. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Querschnitt und/oder die Steifigkeit der unteren Platte in den gegenstabilisierenden Randbereichen so stark auszulegen, dass die Ausdehnungskräfte der oberen Steinplatte im Bereich der Kochzone so hinreichend durch die Druckzone unterhalb der zugsteifen Faserschicht kompensiert werden, dass die maximal zulässige Zugspannung an der Oberfläche der oberen Steinplatte, welche das Kochfeld bildet, auch dann nicht überschritten wird, wenn die maximal zugelassene Kochtemperatur erreicht wird. Um Durchbiegung bzw. Wölbung der Gesamtanordnung durch Bi-Metalleffekt zu vermeiden, wird an der Oberfläche ein hinreichend poröses Steinmaterial gewählt, welches volumen-komprimierbar und/oder vorzugsweise weniger drucksteif ist, als untere Stabilisierüngsplatte, welche den Gegendruck aufbaut. Zur Aufnahme der Induktionsspule wird die Plattenanordnung von unten bis dicht unter die Oberfläche ausgefräst, so dass ein möglichst geringer Abstand zwischen Induktionsspule und Topf gewährleistet ist. Die Ausfräsung ist gewölbt ausgeführt, um die mechanische Stabilität gegen Druck und Schlag von oben zu erhöhen. Hier kann eine zusätzliche Faserarmierung helfend angebracht werden. Unterhalb und ggfls. auch oberhalb der Steinoberfläche kommen zirkulierende Luftschichten zum Einsatz, um die Oberflächentemperaturen auf dem Kochfeld und an der Unterseite der Kochzone so gering wie möglich zu halten. Diese Maßnahmen dienen gemeinsam dem Zweck die übliche Haarrissbildung an der Oberfläche der Gesamtanordnung auszuschließen.

Abstract: ﻿The present disclosure relates to the field of data processing, and, more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing a collective communication operation on multiple compute nodes in a data communications network. In particular, the collective communication operation is performed in accordance with a schedule that is determined based on network parameters, a size of a data array subjected to the collective communication operation, and a distribution of data items constituting the data array over the compute nodes. The schedule defines certain cyclic permutations of the data items among the compute nodes involved in the collective communication operation. Thus, the execution of the collective communication operation is adapted to the network parameters and the size of the data array by changing the number of the cyclic permutations.
