A fat treeA 2-level fat tree with 8-port switches
The fat tree network is a universal network for provably efficient communication.[1] It was invented by Charles E. Leiserson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985.[1] k-ary n-trees, the type of fat-trees commonly used in most high-performance networks, were initially formalized in 1997.[2]
In a tree data structure, every branch has the same thickness (bandwidth), regardless of their place in the hierarchy—they are all "skinny" (skinny in this context means low-bandwidth). In a fat tree, branches nearer the top of the hierarchy are "fatter" (thicker) than branches further down the hierarchy. In a telecommunications network, the branches are data links; the varied thickness (bandwidth) of the data links allows for more efficient and technology-specific use.[citation needed]
Mesh and hypercube topologies have communication requirements that follow a rigid algorithm, and cannot be tailored to specific packaging technologies.[3]
