A fault tolerant routing algorithm based on cube algebra for hypercube systems

WOS: 000084208400006We propose an approach to determine the shortest path between the source and the destination nodes in a faulty or a non-faulty hypercube. The number of faulty nodes and links may be rather large and if any path between the nodes exists, the developed algorithm determines it. To construct this algorithm, some properties of the cube algebra are considered and some transformations based on this algebra are developed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. Air rights reserved
