摘要
This paper presents a new multiprocessor interconnection network, known as cube connected mobius ladders, which has an inherently deadlock-free routing strategy and hence has none of the buffering and computational overheads required by deadlock-avoidance message passing algorithms. The basic network has a diameter phi of 4n - 1 for n2n+2 nodes and has a fixed node degree of 4. The network can be interval routed in two stages and can be represented as a Cayley graph. This is the only practical fixed degree topology of size O(2phi) which has an inherently deadlock-free routing strategy, making it ideally suited for medium and large sized transputer networks.
