Abstract

The total-exchange is one of the most dense communication patterns and is at the heart of numerous applications and programming models in parallel computing. In this paper we present a simple randomized algorithm to efficiently schedule the total-exchange on the family of k-ary n-cubes with adaptive routing and wormhole switching. This algorithm is based on an important property of the wormhole networks that reach high throughput under uniform traffic.The experimental results, conducted on a 256 nodes bidimensional cube using an adaptive routing algorithm based on the Duato's methodology, show that the proposed exchange algorithm reaches a very high throughput with small and medium-sized packets, around 85% of the optimal bound, and is more efficient than other algorithms presented in the literature.
