Clustering is a basic operation in image processing and computer vision, and it plays an important role in unsupervised pattern recognition and image segmentation. While there are many methods for clustering, the single-link hierarchical clustering is one of the most popular techniques. In this pape

โฆ Synopsis
We present an optimal and scalable permutation routing algorithm for three reconfigurable models based on linear arrays that allow pipelining of information through an optical bus. Specifically, for any P N, our algorithm routes any permutation of N elements on a P-processor model optimally in O( N P ) steps. This algorithm extends naturally to one for routing h-relations optimally in O(h) steps. We also establish the equivalence of the three models: linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system,

The reconfigurable array with slotted optical buses (RASOB) has recently received a lot of attention from the research community. In this paper, we first discuss the reconfiguration methods and communication capabilities of the RASOB architecture. Then, we use this architecture for the implementatio
