Abstract

A new interconnection topology-the extended hypercube-consisting of an interconnection network of k-cubes is discussed. The extended hypercube is a hierarchical, expansive, recursive structure with a constant predefined building block. The extended hypercube retains the positive features of the k-cube at different levels of hierarchy and at the same time has some additional advantages like reduced diameter and constant degree of a node. The paper presents an introduction to the topology of the extended hypercube and analyzes its architectural potential in terms of message routing and executing a class of highly parallel algorithms. Topological properties and performance studies of the extended hypercube are presented
