Abstract :
Distributed computations may be viewed as a set of communicating processes. If such a computation is to be executed by a multiprocessor system, the processes have to be distributed over the processors, and the communications have to be distributed over a network. This leads to the questions of load balancing and message routing. The authors consider distributed recursive computations and propose a class of interconnection networks that admits a homogeneous distribution of processes and trivial routing. A subclass that admits a planar embedding of the network is identified
