Abstract

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a family of networks ranging from 2 nodes to 16 nodes that can be partitioned in an unconstrained manner. That is, where the number of nodes in one of these networks is N, subnetwork can contain any number of nodes from 1 to N-1 as long as the total number of nodes in both subnetworks equals N. Furthermore, each subnetwork can be partitioned repeatedly until reaching the atomic level (i.e., when the subnetwork contains a single node). In accordance with methods and systems consistent with the present invention, when a network is partitioned, each subnetwork has various desirable properties. For example, the maximum path length between any two nodes in each subnetwork nodes is 3, and each subnetwork has a set of deadlock-free routings.
