A new scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps (2003)
Journal Article
Ould-Khaoua, M., Al-Dubai, A., Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2003). A new scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps. Microprocessors and Microsystems, 27(3), 101-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0141-9331%2802%2900094-7

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