Abstract

In this paper, we classify multicast methods into three categories, i.e., tree-based, path-based, and hybrid-based multicasts, for a multicomputer employing the bidirectional torus network and wormhole routing. We propose the dynamic partition multicast routing (DPMR) as a path-based algorithm. As a hybrid-based algorithm, we suggest the hybrid multicast routing (HMR), which employs the tree-based approach in the first phase of routing and the path-based approach in the second phase. Performance is measured in terms of the average latency for various message length to compare three multicast routing algorithms. We also compare the performance of wormhole routing having variable buffer size with virtual cut-through switching. The message latency for each switching method is compared using the DPMR algorithm to evaluate the buffer size trade-off on the performance.

본 논문에서는 양방향 토러스 네트워크와 웜홀 라우팅을 사용하는 다중컴퓨터에 대해 멀티캐스트 통신방법을 트리방식, 경로방식, 그리고 두 방식을 조합한 하이브리드방식으로 분류하였다. 경로방식으로는 동적분할 멀티캐스트 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 하이브리드방식으로는 라우팅의 첫 단계로 트리방식을 사용하고 두 번째 단계로는 경로방식을 사용하는 멀티캐스트 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안하여 성능을 분석하였다. 세가지 멀티캐스트 라우팅 알고리즘간의 성능은 메세지 길이에 따른 평균 지연시간을 사용하여 비교하였다. 그리고 웜홀 라우팅에서 플릿 버퍼 크기의 변화에 따른 성능을 가상 컷-스루와 비교 하였으며, 경로방식의 알고리즘을 사용하여 버퍼 크기의 변화에 따른 지연시간을 기준으로 두 스위칭 방식의 성능관계를 분석하였다.
