Communication Performance Evaluation of the Locally Twisted Cube

Abstract

The topology properties of multi-processors interconnection networks are important to the performance of high performance computers. The hypercube network [Formula: see text] has been proved to be one of the most popular interconnection networks. The [Formula: see text]-dimensional locally twisted cube [Formula: see text] is an important variant of [Formula: see text]. Fault diameter and wide diameter are two communication performance evaluation parameters of a network. Let [Formula: see text]), [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] denote the diameter, the [Formula: see text] fault diameter and the wide diameter of [Formula: see text], respectively. In this paper, we prove that [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is an odd integer with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is an even integer with [Formula: see text].
