Abstract

Interconnection networks play a significant role in efficient on-chip communication for multicore systems. This paper introduces a new interconnection topology called the Hierarchical Cross Connected Recursive network (HCCR) and a shortest path routing algorithm for the HCCR. Proposed topology offers a high degree of regularity, scalability, and symmetry with a reduced number of links and node degree. A unique address encoding scheme is proposed for hierarchical graphical representation of HCCR networks, and based on this scheme a shortest path routing algorithm is devised. The algorithm requires 5(k-1) time where k=logn4-2 and k>0, in worst case to determine the next node along the shortest path.
