Organization of information flow in computation for efficient utilization of high information flux communication media
Haldum M. Ozaktas, Joseph W. Goodman · Optics Communications · 1992
We discuss the importance of organizing information flow in computation in a manner enabling multiplexing of signal paths with distinct source and destination localities. This allows efficient use of high bandwidth interconnection media, leading to a decrease in system size and propagation delay for communication limited layouts. Among the three methods we consider towards this end, the fat-tree architecture is found to be near optimal.
