Abstract :
The upper bound on the minimum number of switching cells in crossbar switches was investigated. It was determined that the bound is given by N(N-1), where N is the switch size. Crossbar switches were embedded into ILLIAC(N, N-1) torus networks with cell counts given by the above formula and a simple routing control algorithm for the switches is introduced.
