✦ Synopsis


Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) have been widely used in multiprocessor systems and high-speed networks, and the testing of MINs has been investigated by many researchers. However, in previous works the testing results are distributed among all processors, and all those results are needed to diagnose a network. This poses a problem for a truly distributed system where centralized control is not possible. In this paper, a distributed testing and diagnosis scheme for general MINs is discussed. By using the proposed method, concurrent testing and diagnosis of a network can be done by all processors independently, which neither interrupts the normal network operation nor needs any extra hardware.

A distributed routing scheme is presented for fault-tolerant communication in a multistage interconnection network. When faults occur, the scheme bypasses faulty switching elements by routing the message to an intermediate processor and then making the second pass to reach the final destination. It
