Abstract

Embodiments herein present a system, method, etc. for an efficient super cluster implementation for solving connected problems in a distributed environment. More specifically, the system adapts computing latency to communication latency, wherein the system comprises VPPs wrapped within OCW layers. The VPPs represent a subset of an overall computer task; and, the OCW layers are adapted to enclose the VPPs. Specifically, the number of OCWs that enclose a VPP correspond to the number of computing iterations that may be locally executed by the VPP during an inter-VPP communication cycle. In addition, each VPP comprises collections of OPCs, wherein the OPCs comprise data, methods, and pointers to neighbors. The OPCs are indexed separately based on whether the OPC is part of an OCW layer.
