Permutation is a common problem in both computation and communication. We add the buses to the mesh-connected multiprocessors and introduce the tokens to control the buses. We propose to use the mesh with segmented reconfigurable bus to increase performance of data routing. Segmented reconfigurable bus can not only use the bus-token more efficiently than the traditional bus, but also reduce interconnection delay. We choose the segment length to balance latency and throughput of the system to get better performance. In the simulation, the mesh with segmented reconfigurable bus can finish N x N permutation in .6065N steps in average.
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.
