Abstract

The Circuit Switched Tree CST has been shown to be an important interconnect for dynamically reconfigurable ar chitectures, on which several problems have extremely fast solutions. A vital component of communicating through the CST is the configuration of its switches. In this pa per, we present configuration algorithms for two classes of CST communications: oriented, well-nested sets and mul ticasting. Our algorithms are fast requiring at most a few clock cycles and work without any centralized control, us ing only information local to the processing elements.
