US Patent 11875261 Automated cross-node communication in distributed directed acyclic graph

A system and method is disclosed for automated cross-node communication in a distributed directed acyclic graph. The method can include identifying a directed acyclic graph (“DAG”) overlaying a plurality of nodes and identifying the nodes underlying the DAG. A subordinate DAG can be generated in an entry vertex of the DAG. The subordinate DAG can include a vertex for each of the nodes underlying the DAG. Data and metadata can be received at the entry vertex. The data can be delivered to a next vertex in the DAG, and the metadata can be communicated to nodes underlying the DAG via the subordinate DAG.
