A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2002, December). A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps. Presented at Ninth International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2002. Proceedings., Taiwan, China

Many broadcast algorithms have been proposed for the mesh over the past decade. However, most of these algorithms do not exhibit good scalability properties as the network size increases. As a consequence, most existing broadcast algorithms cannot su... Read More about A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps.
