In a massively parallel system, a method and apparatus for uniquely assigning a MAC address(400) to a device encodes the MAC address with a physical location of the device(410). The method and apparatus include configuring device interconnections of the parallel system with physical topological information such as a rack number, a midplane number, a card number, and a chip number. A device or node with a physical location encoded MAC address may then be interrogated by location for test, diagnostic, and program loading purposes.

L'invention concerne un système massivement parallèle, dans lequel un procédé et un appareil destinés à assigner une adresse MAC unique à un dispositif, codent l'adresse MAC en fonction d'un emplacement physique du dispositif. Le procédé et l'appareil permettent de configurer les interconnections du dispositif du système parallèle avec des informations topologiques physiques telles que le numéro de support, le numéro de plaque centrale, le numéro de carte, et le numéro de puce. Un dispositif ou noeud avec une adresse MAC codée en fonction d'un emplacement physique peut alors être interrogé en fonction de l'emplacement à des fins d'essai, de diagnostic et de chargement de programme.
