Inter-processor communication in interconnection networks can create bottlenecks for scalable parallel implementations of computationally intensive applications. Multicast and broadcast are generally the most fundamental communication operations required by many real world parallel and distributed applications and are used to implement most of the other collective communication operations. As a result, ensuring the development of scalable parallel implementations in a variety of parallel and distributed applications necessitates efficient solutions for the multicast and broadcast communication. The rapid and convergence of the field has created a need for new collective communication algorithms. This book provides background theory and solutions for providing high performance communications, while paving the road towards QoS aware communications for interconnection networks. The book gives a comprehensive coverage of multicast and broadcast patterns in interconnection networks. It presents new efficient algorithms for interconnection networks. It gives the reader the essential background to understand and implement QoS aware collective communication algorithms.
