Dragonfly+ topology

Jan 25, 2025

  • network/topology

Dragonfly+ is a fabric topology that is a dragonfly at the global layer but uses a fat tree within each group.

In practice, it’s been used exclusively with InfiniBand, and primarily with Eviden supercomputers like JUPITER and Leonardo.

The first Dragonfly+ fabric was deployed on the Niagra supercomputer at the University of Toronto.1
