Abstract
Technologies for performing switch-based collective operations in a fabric architecture include a network switch communicatively coupled to a plurality of computing nodes. The network switch is configured to identify sub-operations of a collective operation of a collective operation request received from one of the computing nodes and identify a plurality of operands for each of the sub-operations. The network switch is additionally configured to request a value for each of the operands from a corresponding target computing node at which the respective value is stored, determine a result of the collective operation as a function of the requested operand values, and transmit the result to the requesting computing node. Other embodiments are described herein.
