The design of a vector quantizer is very computationally intensive. Parallel algorithms based on various architectures have been proposed for related applications in clustering. These algorithms are in general not practical for the vector quantization problem because of the magnitude of the parameters involved. We present a parallel SIMD algorithm which can run efficiently on parallel machines of variable sizes. The speedup and efficiency of the algorithms are high across a wide range of input parameters.","PeriodicalId":162043,"journal":{"name":"1994 International Conference on Parallel Processing Vol. 3","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115020988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An algorithm that can tolerate n-1 faulty links is first presented and it can be extended to connected hypercubes with up to 2n - 3 faulty links. Comparisons between the proposed scheme with the conventional dimension-exchange-based scheme are also presented. Simulation results show that very little overhead is introduced in our scheme.","PeriodicalId":162043,"journal":{"name":"1994 International Conference on Parallel Processing Vol. 3","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116758869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
