Description
Summary:博士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 82 === An appropiate approach--neighborhood approach--is proposed forng an approximate agreement in massively prallel systems. Instead-to-all broadcasting that conventional approaches adopt, pproach requires only direct neighbor communication and e routing and redirection. Besides, the approach inherents ties such as isotropic and autonomy, which are very desirabledistributed systems.ealize neighborhood approach, we present a simple but effective m to achieve an approximate agreement on hypercube and wraparoundystems. A set of recurrence relations are derived for each ing to the behavior of neighboring average algorithm. Convergenceor each topology is then deducted through solving the recurrenceons. The evaluated convergence rate, expressed as a function ofure parameters, shows how it is affected by topology of the ch neighboring average algorithm is applied.neighboring average algorithm is then employed to synchronizeand its performance is compared to three representitive globalthms. The performance comparison shows that, besides the advant-n communication and implementation, neighboring average algori-es outperform any global algorithm in some communication
