Abstract

O(k log N) algonthms are obtained to permute and sort N data items on cube and perfect shuffle computers with N1+1/k processing elements, 1 ≤k ≤ log N These algorithms lead directly to a generahzedconnecuon-network construction having O(k log N) delay and O(kN1+l/klog N) contact pairs. This network has the advantage that the switches can be set m O(klog N) time by either a cube or perfect shuffle computer with N1+1/h processing elements.
