Abstract
Discussed herein is a routing mechanism for graphical processing units (GPUs) that are hosted on several host machines in a cloud environment. For a packet transmitted by a GPU of a host machine and received by a network device, the network device determines an incoming port-link of the network device on which the packet was received. The network device obtains a flow information associated with the packet, and computes, based on the flow information, an outgoing port-link of the network device in accordance with a hashing algorithm. The hashing algorithm is configured to hash packets received on a particular incoming port-link of the network device to be transmitted on a same outgoing port-link of the network device. The network device forwards the packet on the outgoing port-link of the network device.
