Gossiping Large Packets on Full-Port Tori

Ulrich Meyer and Jop F. Sibeyn

Abstract
Near-optimal gossiping algorithms are given for two- and higher dimensional tori. It is assumed that the amount of data each PU is contributing is so large, that start-up time may be neglected. For two-dimensional tori, an earlier algorithm achieved optimality in an intricate way, with a time-dependent routing pattern. In our algorithms, in all steps, the PUs forward the received packets in the same way.
