<br/><br/> Parallel processing systems are a proposed solution to the increasing demands for processing power and computation speedsThese systems consist of thousands of processing elements (PEs) interconnected via an interconnection network such as in Massively Parallel SystemsDue to the large number of PEs contained in these systems , the interconnection network usually determines performance and costSuch a network must have low interconnection complexity , a high degree of scalability , and most importantly , efficient support for communicationsRecent studies have shown that efficient implementation of local communications (spatial locality) is a fundamental requirement for interconnection networks
