Lower Bounds on Information Transfer in Distributed Computations

We derive a lower bound on the interprocessor information transfer required for computing a function in a distributed network. The bound is expressed in terms of the function's derivatives, and we use it to exhibit functions whose computation requires a great deal of interprocess communication....
