Routing Algorithms for Cellular Interconnection Arrays
Oruc, Prakash Prakash · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1984
The paper describes an algebraic model which provides a means for realizing an arbitrary permutation through various cellular-array-type networks. The model views a cellular array as an ordered set of transposition maps where each transposition corresponds to a permutation cell of the array. A permutation realizable by such an array is then expressed as a composition of the transpositions where the rules for the composition are determined by the topology of the array.
