Abstract

For interconnection networks, designing shortest path routing algorithms is in general more difficult than designing simple routing algorithms. In this paper, we derive a shortest path routing algorithm for pyramid networks. The proposed algorithm takes O(1) time to determine a shortest path between any two nodes in a pyramid network. We also design a distributed routing algorithm such that an intermediate node takes O(1) time to confirm the next node along the shortest path without any centralized controller.
