Nvidia patents method to send multiple data streams at once

Nvidia describes a system for managing data sent to multiple devices at the same time. It groups different data streams together if they do not overlap, allowing them to be sent in parallel to improve efficiency.

Why it mattersThis helps data centers move information faster by reducing wait times when many devices request data simultaneously.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to perform multicast data transmissions in parallel. In at least one embodiment, a plurality of pending multicast data transmissions are analyzed to select a subset of multicast transmissions that can be performed in parallel. In at least one embodiment, the selection is made by prioritizing senders using a rotating priority scheme.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A system comprising: one or more circuits to: identify, in accordance with priorities of sources associated with a plurality of multicast transmissions, multicast transmissions able to be performed concurrently by successively adding, individual multicast transmissions, from the plurality of multicast transmissions, to a set of multicast transmissions as a result of determining that the individual multicast transmissions do not have conflicting destinations with any multicast transmission already in the set of multicast transmissions; and perform the set of multicast transmissions at least partly concurrently.
