Abstract

A combined (2logN 驴 1)-stage interconnection network (denoted by $\Delta \oplus \Delta '$) is constructed by concatenating two Omega-equivalent networks (驴 and 驴驴) with the rightmost stage of 驴 and the leftmost stage of 驴驴 overlapped. Benes network and the (2logN 驴 1)-stage shuffle-exchange network are two examples of such networks. Although these two networks have received intensive studies, the research on the topology of entire class of $\Delta \oplus \Delta '$ networks is very limited so far. In this paper, we study the topological structure of $\Delta \oplus \Delta '$ networks and propose an algorithm for determining topological equivalence between two given $\Delta \oplus \Delta '$ networks. We also present a simplified 驴-equivalence checking algorithm as a supporting result.
