N2 - Many analytical models of wormhole-routed networks have been proposed over the past few years. Most of these models, however, have been developed for unicast (or point-to-point) communication. There has been comparatively little activity in the area of analytical models of collective communication, such as broadcast. As a result, most existing studies have relied on simulation to evaluate the performance merits of collective communication algorithms. This paper presents an analytical model for predicting broadcast latency in the hypercube. Results obtained through simulation experiments show that the model exhibits a good degree of accuracy in predicting message latency under different working conditions.
