An enhancement scheme for hypercube interconnection networks
William Tsun-Yuk Hsu, Pen-Chung Yew, Chuan Qi Zhu · Proceedings of the International Conference on Parallel Processing · 1987
Hypercube interconnection networks have been used in many commercially available multiprocessor systems like the Cosmic Cube, Intel iPSC, N-Cube, and Connection Machine. It was found that the hypercube does not use its extra hardware very efficiently. A new interconnection structure is proposed as an alternative to the hypercube. This new network has a better performance while using less hardware. Since it uses similar types of hardware as the hypercube, it is relatively easy to adapt existing hypercube multiprocessors to the new network for better performance. 14 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.
