Abstract

This computer system has a plurality of first nodes connected in a tree structure, and second nodes connected to leaves of the first nodes. A second participating node participating in collective communication transmits target data of the collective communication and identification information on nodes participating in the collective communication to the first node. A first participating node participating in collective communication calculates target data received from the second participating node, and transmits the calculation result to a higher-level node together with identification information received from the second participating node or identification information, identifying nodes participating in the collective communication, generated on the basis of the identification information received from the second participating node. As a result, low-latency collective communication can be achieved, on the basis of identification information received from a lower node, without providing a management device for managing collective communication.
