Abstract

Two and three dimensional k-tori are among the most used topologies in the designs of new parallel computers. Traditionally (with the exception of the Tera parallel computer), these networks have been used as fully-populated networks, in the sense that every routing node in the topology is subjected to message injection. However, fully populated tori and meshes exhibit a theoretical throughput which degrades as the network size increases. In contrast, multistage networks (that are partially populated) scale well with the network size. Introducing slackness in fully populated tori, i.e., reducing the number of processors, and studying optimal routing strategies for the resulting interconnections are the central subjects of the paper. The key concept is the placement of the processors in a network together with a routing algorithm between them, where a placement is the subset of the nodes in the interconnection network that are attached to processors. The main contribution is the construction of optimal placements for d-dimensional k-tori networks, of sizes k and k^2 and the corresponding routing algorithms for the cases d=2 and d=3, respectively.
