Abstract

A connected hypercube containing faulty components (nodes or links) is called an injured hypercube. To enable non-faulty nodes to communicate with each other in an injured hypercube, the information of component failures must be made available to those non-faulty nodes for them to route messages around the faulty components.We develop a fault-tolerant routing scheme which requires each node to know only the information on the failure of its own links. Performance of this scheme is rigorously analyzed. This scheme is not only shown to be capable of routing messages successfully in injured hypercubes when the number of component failures is less than n, but also proved to be able to choose a shortest path with a very high probability.
