A Dilation-Improved Embedding of Pyramids into 3-Dimensional Meshes  

Chang, Jung-Hwan (부산외국어대학교 디지털정보공학부)
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a graph-theoretic problem,, the so-called "graph embedding problem" that maps the vertices and edges of the given guest graph model into the corresponding vertices and paths of the host graph under the condition of maintaining better performance parameters such as dilation, congestion, and expansion. We firstly propose a new mapping function which can embed the pyramid model with height N into the 3-dimensional mesh massively parallel processor system with the height $(4^{(N+1)/3}+2)/3$ and the regular 2-dimensional mesh of one side $2^{(2N-1)/3}$, and analyze the performance of the embedding in terms of the dilation parameter that reflects the number of communication steps between two adjacent vertices under the embedding. We prove that the dilation of the embedding is $2{\cdot}4^{(N-2)/3}+4)/3$. This is superior to the previous result of $4^{N+183}+2)/3$ under the same condition.condition.
