Abstract
This paper presents a deadlock-free direct binary hypercube network called the dual-channel hypercube. From a node to another of distance k, L + 1 simultaneous disjoint deadlockfree paths are provided. Large data sets can be partitioned and sent through multiple paths simultaneously, which implies a high inter-node bandwidth. In contrast, the e-cube routing algorithm in the traditional hypercube provides only one such path. Furthermore, a large number of deadlock-free routing choices from one node to another provides low routing latency and fault tolerance. Since the deadlock prevention is done by imposing routing restrictions, it can be used with wormhole routing providing every low routing latency. This paper first presents the dual-channel hypercube topology and the deadlock-free routing restrictions, and then concentrates on the high bandwidth aspect of the network. A multiple-path deadlock-free fixed routing algorithm is presented. A performance study of the dual-channel hypercube network under the fixed routing algorithm is also presented, which shows a significant increase of inter-node bandwidth.
