Abstract

An incomplete hypercube appears interesting and practical because of its relaxed restriction on the system size and possession of salient properties of complete hypercubes. The performance of incomplete hypercubes can be improved considerably by reducing communication time, which can be achieved by forwarding messages through two parallel paths between a pair of nodes. This paper presents a simple and effective two-parallel-paths routing algorithm for incomplete hypercubes which takes advantage of the flexibility provided by incomplete hypercubes, and yet prevents traffic congestion and deadlock. Simulation results indicate that the mean latency for sending large sized messages is reduced and the degree of reduction becomes larger when the system load grows. This significant reduction in latency could translate to a respectable performance improvement. This algorithm can also tolerate one fault in the system by sending duplicate copies of messages through two parallel paths with little increase in the mean latency under light-traffic load.
