Abstract

Multicasting is an information dissemination problem which consists, for a node of a distributed memory parallel computer, of sending the same message to an arbitrary subset of nodes. The two major criteria to be considered in multicast communication are \textsl{traffic} (number of channels used) & \textsl{latency} (time required). In this paper, we proposed new polynomial algorithms giving optimal solutions in terms of traffic or latency for a mesh network using \textsl{wormhole} routing & \textsl{path-based} facility. All the algorithms are shown to be deadlock-free. Moreover, we generalize our algorithms to arbitrary Hamiltonian graphs.
