In this paper, it is shown that for a given p (1 < p 5 n ) , the n-cube network can tolerate up to p2,-P -1 processor failures and remains connected provided that at most p neighbors of any nonfaulty processor are allowed to fail. This generalizes the result for p = n -1, obtained by Esfahanian [l]. We also show that the n-cube network with n 2 5 remains connected provided that at most two neighbors of any processor are allowed to fail.
I n this paper, we study the problem of optimal transmission schedules f o r embedding complete graphs in WDM broadcast-and-select networks. A n optimal transmission schedule is defined to be the one that schedules transmissions such that each node transmits once to every other node within a repeating cycle of minimum length. Our model assumes that the network has N nodes with k wavelength channels, and each node is equipped with multiple tunable transmztters and multiple fixed-tuned receivers. Given a and p (1 5 a , p 5 k ) , we first obtain an optimal transmission schedule with schedule length max{*, P(N -1) + kd} such that each node transmits to each of zts nezghboring nodes exactly cup times withzn this time period assuming that each node has a single transmitter and a single receiver. Using this result, we next show that there exists an optzmal transmisszon schedule with average schedule length max{ , + $8) when each node has a transmitters and P receivers. W e then discuss an O(1og k) algorithm to compute optimal numbers of transmitters and recezvers t o minimize the overall cost of transmitters and receivers in the network while meeting a given bound of schedule length. 0-8186-7591-8/96 $5.00 0 1996 IEEE Proceedings of MPPOI '96
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
