Abstract

We consider the effects of augmenting an arbitrary mesh-connected computer with a second communication system called broadcasting. In broadcasting, a processor sends a value to all the other processors simultaneously, taking unit time, with the restriction that only one broadcast occurs at any one time. We show that this significantly decreases the time to do sample problems such as semigroup calc
