Nodes in CODACS prototype are connected in a WK- Recursive topology. Since such system can scale up to thousand nodes, simple policies are required to efficiently manage internode communication, specially when groups of co- operating nodes need to exchange groups of related information. The solution proposed for this collective communication resides in treating message transfer as communication among homologous level-nodes. This solution, which takes advantage of recursive network properties, allows to each gather node of a sender level-node 1) to identify the correct message sequence; 2) to evaluate the quantum to assign to the scheduler; 3) to transfer the sequence as a unique message. The resulting message is then transferred to homologous ones of a receiver level-node by a level-channel in pipeline fashion to speed up the throughput. Delivering activity occurs adopting a straightforward communication algorithm.
