Title
Efficient single-node broadcast in wormhole-routed multicomputers: a network-partitioning approach.
Abstract
In this paper, a {\em network-partitioning} scheme for single-node broadcasting on wormhole-routed networks is proposed. To broadcast a message, the scheme works in three phases. First, a number of {\em data-distributing networks (DDNs)}, which can work independently, are constructed. Then the message is evenly divided into sub-messages each being sent to a representative node in one DDN. Second, the sub-messages are broadcast on the DDNs concurrently. Finally, a number of {\em data-collecting networks (DCNs)}, which can work independently too, are constructed. Then concurrently on each DCN the sub-messages are re-collected and combined into the original message. One interesting issue is on the definition of {\em independent}, in the sense of wormhole routing, DDNs and DCNs. We show how to apply this scheme to tori, meshes, and hypercubes. Thorough analyses and experiments based on different system parameters and configurations are conducted. The results do confirm the advantage of our scheme, under various system parameters and conditions, over other existing broadcasting algorithms.
