Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 中國文學系 === 86 === The Recursively Decomposable Interconnection Network (RDIN) is
a set of interconnection networks that can be recursively
decomposed into smaller substructures whose topologies and
properties are similar to the original one. The examples of the
RDIN are hypercubes, star graph, tree,
pyramid, pancake, and WK-recursive network. This paper proposed
an uniform and simple model to represent the RDIN inside
computers at first. Based on the model, a generalized and
efficient allocation scheme capable of being applied to all the
members of the RDIN is developed. The
proposed scheme can fully recognize the substructures (such as
subcube, substar, subtree, ) more easily than ever, and it is
the first one that can fully recognize the incomplete
substructure. The best-fit substructure allocation is also
proposed. The criterion is to aim at keeping the largest free
parts from being destroyed, as is the philosophy of the best-
fit allocation. Moreover, all the proposed scheme can be
performed in the injured RDIN with its processors and/or links
faulty. Finally, the mathematical analyses and simulations for
two instances, hypercubes and star graphs, of the
RDIN are presented. The results show that the generalized
scheme outperforms or is comparable to the other proprietary
allocation schemes designed for the specific structure.
