โฆ Synopsis
This paper addresses the problem of simulating the CRCW PRAM on reconfigurable networks. Let N and M, respectively, be the numbers of processors and memory cells contained in the CRCW PRAM. We firstly show that a two-dimensional N x MN"' reconfigurable network can simulate any operation performed on the CRCW PRAM in O(1) time, where r 2 2 and is a constant. Then, if N < M, we further show that any operation performed on the CRCW PRAM can be simulated as well as O(1) time on a r-dimensional N"('-') x N"('-') x . . . xN'"'-"
x(M/N"-2'/"-") reconfigurable network, where r 2 2 and is a constant.

A novel reconfigurable network referred to as the Reconfigurable Multi-Ring Network (RMRN) is described. The RMRN is shown to be a truly scalable network, in that each node in the network has a fixed degree of connectivity and the reconfiguration mechanism ensures a network diameter of \(O\left(\log
