Abstract
A multistage self-routing permutation network is presented, This netwo rk is constructed from concentrators and digit-controlled 2 x 4 switch es. A destination tag routing scheme is used to realize any arbitrary permutation. The network has O(log(2) N) gate-delay and uses O(N-2) VL SI-area, where N is the number of inputs.(1) Assuming packet-switching is used for message transmission, the delay and VLSI-area of the netw ork are smaller than those of any self-routing permutation network pre sented to date.
