Performing the shuffle with the PM2I and Illiac SIMD interconnection networks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5364277
Three SIMD single stage interconnection networks which have been proposed and studied in the literature are the Illiac, PM2I, and shuffle-exchange. The ability of the Illiac and PM2I networks to perform the shuffle interconnection in an SIMD machine with n processors is examined. A lower bound of 3sqrootn/2 transfers for the Illiac to shuffle data is derived. An algorithm to do this task in 2sqrootn-1 transfers is given. A lower bound of log/sub 2/n transfers for the pm2i to shuffle data has been published previously. An algorithm to do this task in log/sub 2/n+1 in transfers is presented. 37 references.
