Abstract

In this work we present a simple network design for all-to-all routing and study deflection routing on it. We present a time-scheduled routing algorithm where packets are routed address-free. We show that a total exchange relation, where every processor has a packet to route to every other processor, can be routed with routing cost of 1/2 + o(1) time units per packet. The network consists of an n-sided d-dimensional torus, where the nd-1 processor (or input/output) nodes are sparsely but regularly situated among nd - nd-1 deflection routing nodes, having d input and d output links. The finite-state routing nodes change their states by a fixed, preprogrammed pattern.
