ABSTRACT:
Free-space optical interconnection is used to fashion a reconfigurable network. Latency hiding techniques are used to enhance its performance. For this network, we present and analyze broadcasting/multi-broadcasting algorithms that utilizes latency hiding and reconfiguration. A combined total exchange algorithm has been proposed based on a combinations of the direct, and standard exchange algorithms. Also, known algorithms for other collective communication primitives have been adapted to our network.
