The advent of parallel processing systems has resulted in the potential for increased performance over traditional uniprocessor systems. However, while there has been significant advances in developing these systems, designing parallel algorithms to run on them has not kept up with the pace. Although parallel algorithms have been studied in the ...

Delta networks are a class of multistage interconnection networks that can be used to interconnect a large number of modules in a modular computing system. In a packet communication environment, the modules in a system communicate asynchronously using fixed size packets. In this environment, delta networks exhibit a large parallelism in packet transfer ...

We study the performance of a communication channel carrying data and voice traffic. The capacity of the channel is assumed to be insufficient for both types of traffic during periods of peak demand. Data is therefore buffered. We model such a communications channel. Data is assumed to arrive at a constant fixed rate. Voice is generated by multiple ...
