Each node in a system is either faulty or fault-free, and the aim of fault diagnosis is to identify correctly faulty/fault-free status of all nodes. In order to achieve it, each node tests their neighbors and output the results of tests. If the test node is fault-free, it always outputs correct test results, but if the test node is faulty, the result of the test cannot be trusted. We give a sufficient condition for a cubic Hamiltonian graph to be adoptively diagnosed in 3 testing rounds, provided that each node participates in at most one test of each round. It is the optimal number of testing rounds. The class of these graphs that satisfy this condition contains several important networks.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

In this paper, we propose a new efficient algorithm for dynamic SPT update to avoid the disadvantages (e.g. redundant computation) caused by static SPT update algorithms. The new algorithm is based on the understanding of the update procedure to reduce redundancy. Only significant elements that contribute to the construction of new SPT from the old one are focused on. The efficiency of our algorithm is improved because it only pay attention to the edges really count for the update process. The running time for the proposed algorithm is maximum reduced, which is shown through experimental results. Furthermore, our algorithm can be easily generalized to solve the SPT updating problem in a graph with negative weight edges and applied to the scenario of multiple edge weight changes.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

One of the reasons that parallel simulations have not been popularized is due to the high cost of frequent communications of small messages. Several simulation techniques have been aggressively studied and developed in the past ten years. These studies mostly focused on parallel VHDL simulation. In this paper, we show the effects of PC-cluster communication latencies on the performance of parallel discrete event simulation. We performed the experiments with two equivalent 8-node PC-cluster systems, one with regular Ethernet cards and one with Myrinet network cards. In order to study the effects of communication costs on the overall performance of parallel simulation algorithms, our study concentrates on fundamental techniques of discrete parallel event simulation scheme. The simulation processes are synchronized by the time warp mechanism and the problem domain is partitioned for best parallel performance. The speedup results show that although current PC-cluster technology is ready for parallel logic simulator, even for high-demanding communication applications, new algorithms that can avoid or minimize the computational rolling-back must be developed in order to catch up the rapid advancement of microprocessor technologies.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

We address the multicast issue in a WDM optical network without wavelength conversion capability. To realize a multicast request in such network, it is required to establish multiple light multicast trees (MLMT) sometimes due to the fact that the requested network resources are being occupied by other routing traffic and therefore it is impossible to establish a single light multicast tree for the request. In this paper we first propose a multiple light multicast tree model. We then show the MLMT is NP-hard, and devise an approximation algorithm for it which takes 0((kn)/sup 1//spl epsi//|D|/sup 2//spl epsi// + kn + km) time and delivers an approximation solution within 0(|D|/sup /spl epsi//) times of the optimal, where n, m, and k are the numbers of nodes, links, and wavelengths in the network, D is the set of destination nodes and e is constant, 0 < e /spl les/ 1. We finally extend the problem further with the end-to-end path delay is bounded by an integer /spl Delta/, and we call this latter problem as the multiple delay-constrained light multicast tree problem (MDCLMT), for which we propose two approximation algorithms with the performance ratios of |D|. One of the proposed algorithms takes 0(km|D|/spl Delta/ + |D|/sup 2/m/spl Delta/) time and the path delay is strictly met; and another takes O(kmn//spl epsi/ + |D|n/sup 2/) time and the path delay is no more than (1 + /spl epsi/)/spl Delta/, where /spl epsi/ is constant with 0 < /spl epsi/ /spl les/ 1.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

But for nonlinearly clustering, the ordering of the independent tasks in each cluster is not easily decided. Improper ordering of these independent tasks will greatly increase the scheduling length of the DAG. We discuss the shortcomings of current scheduling algorithms and the reason behind poor performance, and then propose some new node information to be extracted which is used by a new independent tasks scheduling algorithm based on the maximized parallelism degree (MPD). Experimental results show that the MPD algorithm can yield better performance than the previous algorithms.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.
