METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIERARCHICAL ROUTING IN MULTIPROCESSOR MESH-BASED SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus for hierarchical routing in mesh systems. The method may include splitting 420 a mesh network of nodes into a plurality of partitions, each partition including at least one node, dividing 430 a first partition into a plurality of rectangular regions, determining 440 a partition route from a source region to a destination region of the plurality of rectangular regions, and providing 450 a region route from a source node within one of the plurality of rectangular regions to a destination node within the same rectangular region. The method may also include routing 460 a packet from a source node within the source region to a destination node within the destination region using the partition route and the region route.
