Optimal Routing in Binomial Graph Networks
In: The International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT), Adelaide, Australia.
A circulant graph with n nodes and jumps j1, j2, ..., jm is a graph in which each node i, 0<=i<=n-1, is adjacent to all the vertices i +/- jk mode n, where 1<=k<=m. a binomial graph network (BMG) is a circulant graph where jk is the power of 2 that is less than or equal to n. This paper presents an optimal (shortest-path) two-terminal routing algorithm for BMG networks. This algorithm uses only the destination address to determine the next hop in order to stay on the shortest path. Unlike the original algorithms, it does not require extra space for routing tables or additional information in the packet. The experimental results show that the new optimal algorithm is significantly faster than the original optimal algorithm.
