A practical interconnection network RP(k) and its routing algorithms

Based on Petersen graph, a new interconnection network, the RP(k) network, is devel-oped and the properties of the RP(k) network are investigated. The diameter of the RP(k) network is [ k/2] + 2 and its degree is 5. We prove that the diameter of the RP(k) network is much smaller than that of the 2-D Torus network when the number of nodes in interconnection networks is less than or equal to 300. In order to analyze the communication performance in a group of nodes, we propose the concepts of the optimal node groups and the diameter of the optimal node groups. We also show that the diameter of the optimal node groups in the RP(k) network is less than that in the 2-D Torus net-work. Especially when the number of nodes in an optimal node group is between 6 and 100, the diam-eter of the optimal node groups in the RP(k) network is half of that in the 2-D Torus network. Further-more based on the RP(k) network we design a set of routing algorithms which are point-to-point rout-ing, permutation routing, one-to-all routing and all-to-all routing. Their communication efficiencies are [ k/2] +2, k + 5, [k/2] + 2, and k + 5 respectively. The RP(k) network and the routing algorithms can provide efficient communication means for parallel and distributed computer system.

一种实用的互联网络拓扑结构RPC(k)及路由算法

Pertersen图由于具有短直径和正则性等特性,在并行计算与分布式计算中具有良好的性能。基于环结构,提出了一种Pertersen图的新扩展方法,构造了互联网络RPC(k)。分析了该互联网络的性质,它具有连接度小、网络直径短、拓扑结构简单以及易于扩展等特点。同时给出了RPC(k)优于二维Torus以及RP(k)互联网络的直径和节点可分组性的条件。最后,分别设计了RPC(k)上的单播路由、置换路由、广播路由和多对多路由,它们的通信效率分别为「k/2」+5,k+9,「k/2」+5和k+9。特别是随着k的增大,RPC(k)网络路由算法的通信效率近似于RP(k)网络上的对应算法通信效率的1/3倍。

一种实用的互联网络RP_n(k)及其路由算法

基于环的简单扩展性和Petersen图的短直径,提出了一类新型互联网络RPn(k),研究了该互联网络的性质,它不但具有正则性和良好的可扩展性,还具有比RP(k)互联网络更短的网络直径、更好的可分组性以及更小的网络构造开销。讨论了RPn(k)网络的路由问题,给出了点点路由算法,其通信效率为[k/2]+2n个时间步。在节点个数相同时,RPn(k)比RP(k)网络上的路由算法的通信效率有明显提高。
