Abstract

We present algorithms which reconfigure faulty deBruijn and Butterfly networks. We show that, with high probability, an N-node deBruijn (resp., Butterfly) network with uniformly distributed faulty processors can simulate a fault-free N-node deBruijn (resp., Butterfly) network with a slowdown factor of O(log log N). Our configuration algorithm is deterministic, operates in a distributed fashion, uses only local control, and takes time O(log2 N).
