A scalable plane-based broadcast algorithm for 3D-Mesh networks (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Mackenzie, L. (2003, February). A scalable plane-based broadcast algorithm for 3D-Mesh networks. Presented at Eleventh Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Processing, 2003. Proceedings

Broadcast algorithms for wormhole–switched meshes have been widely reported in the literature. However, most of these algorithms handle broadcast in a sequential manner and do not scale well with the network size. As a consequence, many parallel...
