Communication algorithms on alternating group graphs
Chih-Ming Lai, Jyh-Jong Tsay · 2002
We study the problem of performing all-to-all broadcast on an n-alternating group graph AG/sub n/ with all-port and store-and-forward routing. The running time is [(n/sup 1/-2)/(4(n-2))+1] that is one step more than the trivial lower bound [(n/sup 2/-2)/(4(n-2))]. Our algorithm is based on some new properties of Hamiltonian paths of AG/sub n/ that are identified in this paper and are of independent interest. Similar properties have been used to design an algorithm for single-node scattering that achieves the same time bound.
