Example 2:Indirect Binary n-Cube Network Several kinds of different interconnection topology are used Permutation=Butterflyandperfect shuffle
Interesting fact Perfect shuffle and butterfly permutation can be made out of the following three types of elemental permutations: Row, Column, and Diagonal permutations Row permutation Column permutation Diagonal permutation
