Abstract

Benes networks are rearrangeable nonblocking networks and are among the most efficient switching architectures in terms of the number of [image omitted]  switching elements (SEs) used. In optical Benes networks, if two I/O connecting paths with the same (close) wavelength(s) share a common SE, crosstalk occurs. In order to reduce the crosstalk effect, three approaches, time, space and wavelength dilations have been proposed. In this paper, we present polylogarithmic-time reconfiguration algorithms for realizing any (partial) permutation in time, space and wavelength dilated optical Benes networks using a linear number of processors. Our algorithms are based on a logarithmic-time permutation decomposition algorithm and apply graph coloring techniques such as edge coloring, equitable coloring and vertex coloring.
