โฆ Synopsis
Since many distributed-memory machines rely only on point-to-point communication between processors, various broadcast operations must be created using this type of primitive. In this paper we consider the fundamental problem of broadcasting k-items from one processor to all the remaining processors on a parallel machine. Using point-to-point communication and the LogP model, we design an algorithm for k-item broadcast whose running time is within an additive constant of the lower bound. We also present an optimal algorithm for k-item broadcast on a variant of LogP.

We consider multiple message broadcasting in tree networks. The source (considered as the root of the tree) has k messages which have to be broadcast to all nodes of the tree. In every time unit each node can send one of its already obtained messages to one of its children. A k-message broadcasting
With the realization of broadband integrated service digital networks (B-ISDN), broadcast services will occupy a large part of the network traffic. In these services, the same information is distributed to many subscribers through the point-to-multipoint connection paths. This connection form is qui
