ABSTRACT
Other Parallel Networks
We have previously considered various static and dynamic networks.
More specically, we have covered multistage interconnection networks
in Chapter 3, hypercube networks in Chapter 4, and mesh networks
in Chapter 5. In this chapter, we will examine other interconnection
networks such as de Bruijn networks, shue-exchange network, and cir-
culant network. We will also examine the class of Cayley graphs which
are proposed and used more recently in the construction of intercon-
nection networks. In fact, we will see in Section 6.4 that the two very
popular networks: butter y and cube-connected-cycles (CCC) are Cay-
ley graphs. De Bruijn networks and shue-exchange networks are not
Cayley graphs. However, they can be shown (also in Section 6.4) to be
coset graphs of Cayley graphs.
