Abstract

Embedding one parallel architecture into another is very important in the area of parallel processing because parallel architectures can vary widely. Given a pyramid architecture of (4N - 1)/3 nodes and height N, this paper presents a mapping method to embed the pyramid architecture into a 4k+1+2/3 × 2N-1-k × 2N-1-k mesh for 0 ≤ k ≤ N - 1. Our method has dilation max{4k, 2N-2-k} and expansion 1 + 2/4k+1. When k = (N - 2)/3, the pyramid can be embedded into a 4N+1/3+2/3 × 22N-1/3 × 22N-1/3 mesh with dilation 22N-4/3 and expansion 1 + 2/4N+1/3. This result has an optimal expansion when N is sufficiently large and is superior to the previous mapping methods [10] in terms of the dilation and expansion.
