Abstract
In this paper we study parallel architectures where the communication means are constituted solely by buses. These promising architectures can use the power of bus technologies, providing a viable way to interconnect much more processors in a simple and efficient manner. We study the hyperpath, hypergrid, hyperring, and hypertorus architectures, which are the bus-based versions of the well used point-to-point interconnection networks. We give optimal algorithms for broadcasting a message from one processor to all the others in such architectures, using a tool called simplification.
