Abstract

The features of a novel O(m) broadcast algorithm, independent of the number of processors involved, devised by using divided-and-conquer algorithm are discussed. Collective communication functions including the broadcast in cluster computers usually take O(m log p) time in propagating the size-m message to P processors. The overall time T(M,K) for the message broadcast of size M on K processors can be computed directly from the algorithm with T(M/2,K/2) and 2t(M/2), where t(M/2) is the point-to-point communication time of the message of size M/2 between arbitrary two processors. It is pointed that the new broadcast algorithm will be much faster if there are many participating processors for the broadcast and the message is large.
