Abstract

A new class of interconnection networks is proposed for interconnecting the processors of a general purpose parallel computer which is based on the hierarchical application of a complete graph compound. The systematic construction of this new class of interconnection networks, RCC, is shown and its properties are derived and are compared favorably to other interconnection networks. A specific instance of this class, RCC-CUBE, is shown to have desirable network properties such as small diameter, small degree, high density, and high bandwidth. The hardware cost and physical time performance are estimated for RCC-CUBE and compared to those of the hypercube and the 2-D mesh demonstrating an overall cost effectiveness for RCC-CUBE. Thus, the RCC-CUBE appears to be a good candidate for next generation massively parallel computer systems.
