Right,so it has no connection with any topological properties of the fat tree? Which again means that the definition of compute nodes is only necessary for the ability to balance these separately in the tree?

Thanks for your answer,

Hi,

I have been looking into the fat tree code, and I was wondering about the definition of a compute node (CN). Are these part of the leaf switches at the bottom of the fat tree, or are they extra switches that are connected to the fat tree, e.g. the switch in a rack of blades which is again connected to the fat tree?

Appreciate the help,
