Abstract

Divisor-Skip Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DS-WDM) ring is an optical interconnection network for workstation clusters or parallel machines which can connect various number of nodes easily using wavelength division multiplexing techniques. However, the wavelength-ordered routing algorithm proposed for the DS-WDM ring requires complicated processes in each router. Here, a new routing algorithm called the comparing dimensional number routing algorithm for the DS-WDM ring is proposed and evaluated. Although the diameter and average distance are almost same as traditional wavelength-ordered routing, the cost and latency are much reduced.
