Network performance of pruned hierarchical torus network by Rahman, M.M. Hafizur, Xiaohong, Jiang, Masud, Md. Shahin Al, Susumu, Horiguchi

“…We have explored the network diameter, average distance, bisection width, peak number of vertical links, and VLSI layout area of different HTN. It is shown that the pruned HTN possesses several attractive features including small diameter, small average distance, small number of wires, a particularly small number of vertical links, and economic layout area as compared to its non-pruned counterpart. …”
