  • Abstract
    The n-star graph, denoted by Sn, is one of the graph networks that have been recently proposed as attractive alternatives to the n-cube topology for interconnecting processors in parallel computers. We present a parallel algorithm for the computation of the Fourier transform on the star graph. The algorithm requires O(n2 ) multiply-add steps for an input sequence of n! elements, and is hence cost-optimal with respect to the sequential algorithm on which it is based. This is believed to be the first algorithm, and the only one to date, for the computation of the Fourier transform on the star graph
