The method for optimal server placement in the hypercube networks

In this paper, the problem of determining the most effective server placement in the hypercube network structure was considered. The algorithm consisting of two stages: first stage for the server placement and the second for generating the appropriate communication structure was described. The correctness of the algorithm has been verified through simulation tests, prepared and implemented in Riverbed Modeler environment. The results of these tests for exemplary structures were presented. Some properties of the server placement in the 4-dimensional hypercube network with soft degradation were investigated.
