Simulating a PR-mesh on an LARPBS

The unidirectional nature of propagation and predictable delays are two characteristics of optically pipelined buses that have made them popular in recent years. Many models have been proposed that use reconfigurable optically pipelined buses. In this paper, we establish a relationship between a one dimensional and a two dimensional model of this type. This simulation shows that the challenge is to map the processors so that those belonging to a two-dimensional bus segment are contiguous and in the same order on the simulating one-dimensional model. We focus on the linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS) and its two dimensional counterpart the pipelined reconfigurable mesh (PR-mesh)
