Abstract :
We show how to use the wavelength division multiple access capabilities of passive optical star networks for efficiently implementing communication operations that are widely used in parallel applications. We propose algorithms for multiple broadcasting, scattering, gossiping and multi-scattering, which are very close to the lower bound for these problems
