The authors have been investigating an approach to parallel database processing based on treating entity-relationship (E-R) schema graphs as dataflow graphs. A prerequisite is to find appropriate embeddings of the schema graphs into a processor graph, in this case a hypercube. This paper studies a class of adjacency preserving embeddings that map a node in the schema graph into a subcube (relaxed squashed or RS embeddings) or into adjacent subcubes (relaxed extended squashed or RES embeddings) of a hypercube. The mapping algorithm is motivated by the technique used for state assignment in asynchronous sequential machines. In general, the dimension of the cube required for squashed embedding of a graph is called the weak cubical dimension or WCD of the graph.
