β¦ Synopsis
Multicast (one-to-many) communication has important applications in parallel architecture and communication networks. This paper considers the multicast problem for a (d) dimensional binary hypercube in the presence of (F) link failures, where (F<d). We develop a fault-tolerant (FT) multicast heuristic, namely lookahead-multicast, by including FT features into the existing faultfree hypercube multicast heuristic. The proposed FT multicast heuristic is deadlock-free and can ensure successful multicast. Reliability measures and simulation results are reported towards the performance of this approach. It is also compared with another FT multicast heuristic. O 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

Consider a communication network G in which a limited number of link and/or node faults F might occur. A routing Ο for the network (a fixed path between each pair of nodes) must be chosen without knowing which components might become faulty. The diameter of the surviving route graph R(G, Ο)/F, where
This paper presents the new Flexible Hypercube architecture. The Flexible Hypercube is a fault-tolerant network topology that can be constructed for an arbitrary number of nodes and is incrementally expandable. This topology maintains the strong features of the Hypercube while overcoming deficiencie
