The Folded Crossed Cube : A New Interconnection Network For Parallel Systems

Study of parallel computer interconnection network topology has been made along with the various interconnection networks emphasizing the cube based topologies in particular. This paper proposes a new cube based topology called the Folded crossed cube with better features such as reduced diameter, cost and improved broadcast time, better fault tolerance and better message traffic density in comparison to its parent topologies: viz: hypercube and crossed cube. The one-to-one routing algorithm is also designed for the proposed network. The topological properties along with routing time are compared with the parent topologies and found to be better. Performance analysis in terms of cost, reliability is also done for the current network.
