Abstract: We consider a way to build distributed full switches of arbitrary size consisting of fixed-size switches and channel splitters. The distributed switch preserves nonblocking and self-routing properties of a complete switch and forms an ideal system area network.

Keywords: massive parallel multiprocessor computer, ideal system area networks, distributed full switch, channel switching, wormhole routing techniques, non-blocking networks, self-routing networks.
