Abstract
In the literature various two level interconnection networks are proposed using hypercubes or star graphs. In this paper, a new two level interconnection network topology called the Metastar denoted as Mstar(k,m) is introduced. The proposed network takes the star graph as basic building blocks. Here, the network at the lower level is a star but at the higher level the network is a cube. Its various topological parameters such as packing density, degree, diameter, cost, average distance and hamiltonicity are investigated. Message routing and broadcasting algorithms are also proposed. Performance analysis in terms of topological parameters is done and the proposed network is proved to be a suitable candidate for large scale computing.
