Abstract

The problem of dynamic tree embedding in static networks is studied in this paper. We provide a unified framework for studying the performance of randomized tree embedding algorithms which allow a newly created tree node to take a random walk of a short distance to reach a processor nearby. In particular, we propose simple randomized algorithms on several most common and important static networks, including d-dimensional meshes, d-dimensional tori, and hypercubes. It is shown that these algorithms, which have a small constant dilation, are asymptotically optimal. Our analysis technique is based on random walks on static networks. Hence, analytical expressions jor expected load on all the processors are available.
