A NEW SWITCHING TECHNIQUE PIPELINED PHASE TREE CIRCUIT SWITCHING

More and more parallel applications demand the direct support of multicasting operation to minimize their communication overhead. This paper proposes a new switching technique supporting multicast routing Pipelined Phase Tree Circuit Switching （PPTCS）, which can reconcile the conflicting demands of time and traffic, avoid traffic jam and thus reduce communication latency and increase throughput. Deadlock freedom is also guaranteed using PPTCS.
