1. A method performed by a computer processor, the method comprising:

  • receiving parameters that specify a number of servers, a number of switches, and a number of ports in the switches, for configuring an extended generalized fat tree network (EGFT) topology; and

    generating a plurality of potential EGFT topologies based on the parameters and based on heuristics that favor higher bandwidth and lower latency, wherein generating the plurality of potential EGFT topologies comprises generating each level of the potential EGFT topologies recursively and from a bottom level of a potential EGFT topology to a top level.
