Abstract

Mesh is one of the most commonly used interconnection networks and, therefore, embedding between different meshes becomes a basic embedding problem. Not only does an efficient embedding between meshes allow one mesh-connected computing system to efficiently simulate another, but it also provides a useful tool for solving other embedding problems. In this paper, we study how to embed an s1脳t1 mesh into an s2脳t2 mesh, where si驴ti(i = 1, 2), s1t1 = s2t2, such that the minimum dilation and congestion can be achieved. First, we present a lower bound on the dilations and congestions of such embeddings for different cases. Then, we propose an embedding with dilation $\lfloor s_1/s_2 \rfloor + 2$ and congestion $\lfloor s_1/s_2 \rfloor + 4$ for the case s1驴s2, both of which almost match the lower bound $\lceil s_1/s_2 \rceil.$ Finally, for the case s1
