A data processing method implemented by a controller includes receiving a processing request from a specified node that carries identifiers of a plurality of computing nodes, where the plurality of computing nodes are configured to execute a specified calculation task, determining a target switching device from switching devices that are configured to connect to the plurality of computing nodes, and separately sending, to the target switching device and the specified node, routing information that indicates data forwarding paths between the plurality of computing nodes and the target switching device. The target switching device is configured to combine, based on the routing information, data reported by the plurality of computing nodes, and then send combined data to each computing node. The specified node is configured to send the routing information to each computing node, and each computing node may report data to the target switching device based on the routing information.
