Not sure about this one - I'm hampered by my lack of understanding of the subject. But checking on the sparse sources, refs #1 & #2 appear to be for general concepts, not the article subject; #3 at least has some apparent relation. The body of the article is a how-to for coding specific algorithms, unsourced. Overall, I'd consider this OR / HOWTO with some hooks to existing terms, but not in a form suitable for an article. - Theoretical computing-savvy editors please assess.

Redirect without merging to Hypercube internetwork topology, a better article on more or less the same topic. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:04, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Eh, there go. That seems like an excellent redirect target. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:37, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary, from a quick look at the book Grama et al. 2003 actually supports pretty much all of the article, including the algorithms which are explanatory not tutorial; and I dispute that Hypercube internetwork topology is better. This article is the only place in the entire encyclopaedia where people will get even the tiniest clue why "allgather", "allreduce", and other such jargon exist in the literature. A merger may be warranted, but just throwing this away is irresponsible, given how bad the coverage of this subject actually is. Uncle G (talk) 00:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect with a main Article as, Hypercube internetwork topology. The Article and its useful information could save this way.Forest90 (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although better clarity is needed, maybe even a rename or change of disambiguator, to clarify the distance from hypercube internetwork topology, of which this is a distinct subset. To say its "on more or less the same topic" is to have missed the point altogether. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
