文摘This paper presents an efficient algorithm that implements one to-many, or multicast, communication in one-port wormhole-routed cube-connected cycles (CCCs) in the absence of hardware multicast support.

The algorithm can deliver a multicast message to m - 1 destinations in [log2, m] message-passing steps, while avoiding contention among the constituent unicast messages. Performance results of a simulation study on CCCs with up to 10,240 nodes are also given.
