Designing Efficient Communication Networks.
Abstract
In recent years it has become clear that communication time between processors is one of the most severe limiting factors in designing high speed parallel computers. Further, for massively parallel machines unrestricted communication via such methods as data buses is impractical. Thus, it seems sensible to investigate the design of networks which allow efficient communication between processors subject to the restriction that each processing element may 'talk' to a fixed small number equal to or less than 10, say) of others. This report examines this problem in both a purely heuristic way, and also investigates a theoretical method of attack. (Author)
