Abstract

A vast number of message patterns can be represented by $\left( {_d^s} \right)\!\hbox{-}$masks. In this paper, we consider the problem of routing maskable messages in the hypercube-derived multistage interconnection networks. Network contention is settled by delivering conflicting data in different network cycles. We propose an indirect, two-phase routing strategy which is optimal within two network cycles. For $\left( {_d^s} \right)\!\hbox{-}$masks message patterns in which every destination receives data from 2驴 sources, we identify a subclass of maskable messages that can be routed in minimal 2驴 network cycles, and the other maskable messages can be routed in 2驴 + 2 network cycles.
