Abstract

In this paper, we study natural conditions for 2D tori with a large number of faulty nodes to remain connected. Under the suggested connectivity conditions, we develop efficient routing algorithms in 2D tori with a large number of faulty nodes. As long as a given input torus and the meshes within the torus satisfy the conditions, the routing algorithm successfully constructs a fault-free path by using only local information of the network. Also, our algorithms do not require faulty nodes and faulty blocks to be a special structure such as convex, rectangle, while each mesh in a given torus can sustain as many faulty nodes as possible, provided that non-faulty nodes of the mesh are connected and the mesh holds the connectivity conditions. Specifically, for a torus sustaining up to 22.2% faulty nodes, in linear time, our algorithm constructs a fault-free path of length bounded by six times the shortest path length between the two nodes.
