We assume a moel of a fully coecte messagepassig system, i which the pefomace of ay poit-to-poit commuicatio is iepeet of the see-eceive pai. We also assume that each pocesso has pots, though which it ca se a eceive messages i evey commuicatio ou. The complexity measues we use ae iepeet of the paticula system topology a ae base o the commuicatio stat-up time, a o the commuicatio bawith. I the iex opeatio amog pocessos, iitially, each pocesso has blocs of ata, a the goal is to exchage the i th bloc of pocesso j with the j th bloc of pocesso i. We peset a class of iex algoithms that is esige fo all values of a that featues a tae-off betwee the commuicatio stat-up time a the ata tasfe time. This class of algoithms iclues two special cases: a algoithm that is optimal with espect to the measue of the stat-up time, a a algoithm that is optimal with espect to the measue of the ata tasfe time. We also peset expeimetal esults featuig the pefomace tueability of ou iex algoithms o the IBM SP- paallel system. I the cocateatio opeatio, amog pocessos, iitially, each pocesso has oe bloc of ata, a the goal is to cocateate the blocs of ata fom the pocessos, a to mae the cocateatio esult ow to all the pocessos. We peset a cocateatio algoithm that is optimal, fo most values of, i the umbe of commuicatio ous a i the amout of ata tasfee.

INTRODUCTION C ollective commuicatio opeatios [] ae commuicatio opeatios that geeally ivolve moe tha two pocessos, as oppose to the poit-to-poit commuicatio betwee two pocessos. Examples of collective commuicatio opeatios iclue: (oe-to-all) boacast, scatte, gathe, iex (all-to-all pesoalize commuicatio), a cocateatio (all-to-all boacast). See [3], [6] fo a suvey of collective commuicatio algoithms o vaious etwos with vaious commuicatio moels. The ee fo collective commuicatio aises fequetly i paallel computatio.

I paticula, collective commuicatio is use extesively i may scietific applicatios fo which the iteleavig of stages of local computatio with stages of global commuicatio is possible (see []). This pape stuies the esig of all-to-all commuicatio algoithms, amely, collective opeatios i which evey pocesso both ses ata to a eceives ata fom evey othe pocesso. I paticula, we focus o two wiely use opeatios: iex (o all-to-all pesoalize commuicatio) a cocateatio (o all-to-all boacast). The algoithms escibe hee ae icopoate ito the Collective Commuicatio Libay (CCL) [], which was esige a evelope fo the ew IBM lie of scalable paallel computes. The fist compute i this lie, the IBM 976 Scalable POWERpaallel System (SP), was aouce i Febuay Defiitios a Applicatios INDEX: The system cosists of pocessos p, p, º, p -. Iitially, each pocesso p i has blocs of ata B[i, ], B[i, ], º, B[i, - ], whee evey bloc B[i, j] is of size b. The goal is to exchage bloc B[i, j] (the jth ata bloc of pocesso p i ) with bloc B[j, i] (the ith ata bloc of pocesso p j ), fo all i, j -. The fial 45-99/97/$. 997 IEEE

CONCATENATION: The system cosists of pocessos p, p, º, p -. Iitially, each pocesso p i has a bloc of ata B[i] of size b. The goal is to mae the cocateatio of the ata blocs, amely, B[] B[] B[ - ], ow to all the pocessos. Both the iex a cocateatio opeatios ae use extesively i istibute-memoy paallel computes a ae iclue i the Message-Passig Iteface (MPI) staa poposal [4]. (The iex opeatio is efee to as MPI_Alltoall i MPI, while the cocateatio is efee to as MPI_Allgathe i MPI.) Fo example, the iex opeatio ca be use fo computig the taspose of a matix, whe the matix is patitioe ito blocs of ows (o colums) with iffeet blocs esiig o iffeet pocessos. Thus, the iex opeatio ca be use to suppot the emappig of aays i HPF compiles, such as emappig the ata layout of a two-imesioal aay fom (bloc, *) to (cyclic, *), o fom (bloc, *) to (*, bloc). The iex opeatio is also use i FFT algoithms [], i Asce a Desce algoithms [6], i the Alteatig Diectio Implicit (ADI) metho [], a i the solutio of Poisso s poblem by the Fouie Aalysis Cyclic Reuctio (FACR) metho [8], [3], o the two-imesioal FFT metho [8]. The cocateatio opeatio ca be use i matix multiplicatio [9] a i basic liea algeba opeatios [].. Commuicatio Moel We assume a moel of a multipot fully coecte message-passig system. The assumptio of full coectivity meas that each pocesso ca commuicate iectly with ay othe pocesso a that evey pai of pocessos ae equally istat. The assumptio of multiple pots meas that, i evey commuicatio step (o ou), each pocesso ca se istict messages to pocessos a simultaeously eceive messages fom othe pocessos, fo some. Thoughout the pape, we assume -, whee is the umbe of pocessos i the system. The multipot moel geealizes the oe-pot moel that has bee wiely ivestigate. Thee ae examples of paallel systems with -pot capabilities fo >, such as the CUBE/, the CM- (whee is the imesio of the hypecube i both machies), a taspute-base machies. Such a fully coecte moel aesses emegig tes i may moe istibute-memoy paallel computes a message-passig commuicatio eviomets. These tes ae eviet i systems such as IBM s Vulca [6], MIT s J-Machie [], NCUBE s CUBE/ [5], Thiig Machies CM-5 [9], a IBM s 976 Scalable POWERpaallel System, a i eviomets such as IBM EUI [], PICL [4], PARMACS [7], Zipcoe [7], a Expess [3]. These systems a eviomets geeally igoe the specific stuctue a topology of the commuicatio etwo a assume a fully coecte collectio of pocessos, i which each pocesso ca commuicate iectly with ay othe pocesso by seig a eceivig messages. The fact that this moel oes ot assume ay sigle topology maes it geeal a flexible. Fo istace, this moel allows the evelopmet of algoithms that ae potable betwee iffeet machies, that ca opeate withi abitay a yamic subsets of pocessos, a that ca opeate i the pesece of faults (assumig coectivity is maitaie). I aitio, algoithms evelope fo this moel ca also be helpful i esigig algoithms fo specific topologies. We use the liea moel [3] to estimate the commuicatio complexity of ou algoithms. I the liea moel, the time to se a m-byte message fom oe pocesso to aothe, without cogestio, ca be moele as T = b + mt, whee b is the ovehea (stat-up time) associate with each se o eceive opeatio, a t is the commuicatio time fo seig each aitioal byte (o ay appopiate ata uit). Fo coveiece, we efie the followig two tems i oe to estimate the time complexities of ou commuicatio algoithms i the liea moel: C : the umbe of commuicatio steps (o ous) equie by a algoithm. C is a impotat measue whe the commuicatio stat-up time is high, elative to the tasfe time, of oe uit of ata, a the message size pe se/eceive opeatio is elatively small. C : the amout of ata (i the appopiate uit of commuicatio: bytes, flits, o pacets) tasfee i a sequece. Specifically, let m i be the lagest size of a message (ove all pots of all pocessos) set i ou i. The, C is the sum of all the m i s ove all ous i. C is a impotat measue whe the statup time is small compae to the message size. Thus, i ou fully coecte, liea moel, a algoithm has a estimate commuicatio time complexity of T = C b + C t. It shoul be ote that thee ae moe etaile commuicatio moels, such as the BSP moel [3], the Postal moel [3], a the LogP moel [9], which futhe tae ito accout that a eceivig pocesso geeally completes its eceive opeatio late tha the coespoig seig pocesso fiishes its se opeatio. Howeve, esigig pactical a efficiet algoithms i these moels is substatially moe complicate. Aothe impotat issue is the uifomity of the implemetatio. Fo example, i the LogP moel, the esig of collective commuicatio algoithms is base o P, the umbe of pocessos. Optimal algoithms fo two istict values of P may be vey iffeet. This pesets a challege whe the goal is to suppot collective commuicatio algoithms fo pocesso goups with vaious sizes while usig oe collective commuicatio libay..3 Mai Cotibutios a Ogaizatio We stuy the complexity of the iex a cocateatio opeatios i the -pot fully coecte message-passig moel. We eive lowe bous a evelop algoithms fo these opeatios. The followig is a esciptio of ou mai esults: Lowe bous: Sectio povies lowe bous o the complexity measues C a C fo both the cocateatio a the iex opeatios.

3 BRUCK ET AL.: EFFICIENT ALGORIITHMS FOR ALL-TO-ALL COMMUNICATIONS IN MULTIPORT MESSAGE-PASSING SYSTEMS 45 Fo the cocateatio opeatio, we show that ay algoithm equies C log commuicatio + b a -f ous a ses C uits of ata. Fo the iex opeatio, we show that ay algoithm equies C log commuicatio ous a ses C + b a -f uits of ata. We also show that, whe is a powe of +, ay iex algoithm that uses the miimal umbe of commuicatio ous (i.e., C = log + ) must tasfe b C + log + uits of ata. Fially, we show that, i the oe-pot moel, if the umbe of commuicatio ous C is O(log ), the C must be W(b log ). Iex algoithms: Sectio 3 escibes a class of efficiet algoithms fo the iex opeatio amog pocessos. This class of algoithms is esige fo abitay values of a featues a tae-off betwee the stat-up time (measue C ) a the ata tasfe time (measue C ). Usig a paamete, whee, the commuicatio complexity - measues of the algoithms ae C = log - a C b log. Note that, followig ou lowe bou esults, optimal C a C caot be obtaie simultaeously. To icease the pefomace of the iex opeatio, the paamete ca be caefully chose as a fuctio of the stat-up time b, the ata tasfe ate t, the message size b, the umbe of pocessos, a the umbe of pots. Two special cases of this class ae of paticula iteest: Oe case exhibits the miimal umbe of commuicatio ous (i.e., C is miimize to log + by choosig = + ), a aothe case featues the miimal amout of ata tasfee (i.e., C is miimize to b - by choosig = ). The oe-pot vesio of the iex algoithm was implemete o the IBM s SP- to cofim the existece of the tae-off betwee C a C. It shoul be ote that, whe is a powe of two, thee ae ow algoithms fo the iex opeatio which ae base o the stuctue of a hypecube (see [5], [], [8]). Howeve, oe of these algoithms ca be easily geealize to values of that ae ot powes of two without losig efficiecy. The iea of a tae-off betwee C a C is ot ew a has bee applie to hypecubes i [5], [8]. Cocateatio algoithms: Sectio 4 pesets algoithms fo the cocateatio opeatio i the -pot moel. These algoithms ae optimal fo ay values of, b, a, except fo the followig age: b 3, 3, a ( + ) - < < ( + ), fo some. (Thus, if b = o =, which coves most pactical cases, ou algoithm is optimal.) I this special age, we achieve eithe optimal C a suboptimal C (oe moe tha the lowe bou log + ), o optimal C a suboptimal b a -f C (at most b - moe tha the lowe bou ). Pseuocoe: Appeices A a B povie pseuocoe fo the iex a cocateatio algoithms, espectively, i the oe-pot moel. Both the iex a cocateatio opeatios wee iclue i the Collective Commuicatio Libay [] of the Exteal Use Iteface (EUI) [] fo the 976 Scalable POWERpaallel System (SP) by IBM. I aitio, these oe-pot vesios of the algoithms have bee implemete o vaious aitioal softwae platfoms icluig PVM [5], a Expess [3].

4 46 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS, VOL. 8, NO., NOVEMBER Compou Lowe Bous fo the Iex Opeatio Hee, we povie aitioal lowe bous fo the iex opeatio. These lowe bous chaacteize the measue C as a fuctio of C a vice vesa. Theoems.5 a.7 show that whe C is optimize fist, the lowe bou o C becomes a oe of O(log + ) highe tha the staaloe lowe bou give i Popositio.4. The, Theoem.6 shows that whe C is optimize fist, the lowe bou o C becomes ( - )/ as oppose to log +. Fially, Theoem.9 gives a moe geeal lowe bou fo the oe-pot case. THEOREM.5. If = ( + ), fo some itege, the ay iex algoithm that uses exactly C = log + commuicatio ous must tasfe at least C = b + log + uits of ata. PROOF. Let = ( + ). I oe to fiish the algoithm i exactly log + = ous, the umbe of pocessos havig eceive ata fom a give pocesso, say p i, must gow by a facto of + i evey ou. This efies a uique stuctue of the spaig tee T i, which is oote at p i, that is a geealize vesio of the biomial tee use to istibute the - ata blocs of pocesso p i amog the othe - pocessos. Deote by, j the umbe of pocessos at level j i tee T i oote at pocesso p i. Oe may use iuctio to show that l j j =ej j. Now, the total amout of ata D i that is ijecte ito the etwo ove the eges of the biomial tee T i oote at p i is give by  D b j b j i lj j = = F H I K =  j= j= j b, + whee the last equality step ca be eive by iffeetiatig both sies of j ÂF j H I = + K b g j= a the multiplyig both sies by b. Now, clealy, C - Di b b  = = log i= THEOREM.6. Ay algoithm fo the iex opeatio that tasfes exactly C = uits of ata fom each pocesso b a -f equies C - commuicatio ous. PROOF. I the iex opeatio, each pocesso has - ata blocs that it ees to se to the othe - pocessos. If each pocesso is allowe to tasfe at most b a -f uits of ata pe pot ove all ous, the it must be the case that the jth ata bloc of pocesso p i is set iectly fom pocesso p i to pocesso p j. (That is, each ata bloc is set exactly oce fom its souce to its estiatio, a o pocesso ca fowa ata blocs of othe pocessos.) I this case, each pocesso must se - istict messages to the othe - pocessos. Ay such algoithm must equie C - ous. THEOREM.7. Ay iex algoithm that uses C = Èlog + commuicatio ous must tasfe at least b C = W log + + i uits of ata. PROOF. It is sufficiet to pove the theoem fo b =. Cosie ay algoithm that fiishes the iex opeatio i = C (miimum) ous. We show that the algoithm execute a total of W( log + ) ata tasmissios (ove all oes), thus, thee is a pot that tasmitte W log + + i uits of ata. We fist cocetate o the ata istibutio fom a give souce oe v to all othe - oes. Ay such algoithm ca be chaacteize by a sequece of + sets, S, S,, S, whee S i is the set of oes that have eceive thei espective ata by the e of commuicatio ou i. Thus, S = {v}, S =, a S i cotais S i-, plus oes that eceive ata fom oes i S i- i the ith commuicatio ous. Let x i = S i. Clealy, x i x i+ ( + )x i, because each oe i S i ca se ata to at most othe oes ue the -pot moel. Next, we assig weights to the oes i the sets, S i s, whee the weight of a oe u i S i epesets the path legth (o the umbe of commuicatio ous icue) fom v to u i achievig the ata istibutio. The weights ca be assige base o the followig ule. If a oe u appeas fist i S i ue to a ata tasmissio fom oe w i S i-, the the weight of u is the weight of w plus oe. Note that, oce a oe is assige a weight, it hols the same weight i all subsequet sets. By Lemma.8, we ow that thee ae at most j f ej f oes of weight f i S j. Ou goal is to give a lowe bou fo the sum of the weights of the oes i S. Without loss of geeality, we ca assume that the sum of the weights is the miimum possible. f  ej b g Let X = f = +. By the choice of, f= X < b+ g. - Let Y f =. Sice, fo  f= ej f f -f,e j e fj, f - f - Y X - = + < + b g.

To bou the sum of the weights,we ee a lowe bou o Fo f -, f - Z = Â ff Hf I K f. f= f ej is mooto i f. Thus, at least i. / of the oes have weight at least - That is, Z = W().

Whe =, ay algoithm fo the iex opeatio that uses C = O(log ) commuicatio ous must tasfe C = W(b log ) uits of ata. PROOF. Assume that thee is a algoithm with C c log fo some costat c. Cosie the biomial istibutio e j j. Let h be the miimal,, such that clog l+ clog e j j. Oe ca show that ay algoithm Âj= that fiishes i c log ous must have the followig popety. Fo evey j such that j h, thee exist clog e j j messages fom each oe that tavel at least j hops i the etwo. Notice that, i this popety, each message ca oly be coute oce fo a give j. Theefoe, the aveage umbe of hops a message has to tavel fo each oe is h/, if h log, o log /, if h log. Sice h must be W(log ) fom Lemma C. i Appeix C, we have C = W(b log ). 3 INDEX ALGORITHMS This sectio pesets a class of efficiet algoithms fo the iex opeatio. Fist, we povie a oveview of the algoithms. The, we focus o the commuicatio phase of the algoithms fo the oe-pot moel. Next, we escibe two special cases of this class of algoithms. The, we geealize the algoithms to the -pot moel. A fially, we commet o the implemetatio a pefomace of this class of algoithms. 3. Oveview The class of algoithms fo the iex opeatio amog pocessos ca be epesete as a sequece of pocessomemoy cofiguatios. Each pocesso-memoy cofiguatio has colums of blocs each. Colums ae labele fom though - (fom left to ight i the figues) a blocs ae labele fom though - (fom top to bottom i the figues). Colum i epesets pocesso p i, a bloc j epesets the jth ata bloc i the memoy offset. The objective of the iex opeatio, the, is to taspose these colums of blocs. Fig. shows a example of the pocesso-memoy cofiguatios befoe a afte the iex opeatio fo = 5 pocessos. The otatio ij i each box epesets the jth ata bloc iitially allocate to pocesso p i.

Each pocesso p i iepeetly otates its ata blocs i steps owwas i a cyclical mae. Fig. pesets a example of these thee phases of the algoithm fo pefomig a iex opeatio amog = 5 pocessos. The implemetatio of Phases a 3 o each pocesso ivolves oly local ata movemets a is staightfowa. I the sequel, we focus oly o the implemetatio of Phase. Diffeet algoithms ae eive epeig o how the commuicatio patte of Phase is ecompose ito a sequece of poit-to-poit commuicatio ous. 3. The Itepocesso Commuicatio Phase We peset the ecompositio of Phase ito a sequece of poit-to-poit commuicatio ous, assumig the oepot moel a usig a paamete (fo aix) i the age. Fo coveiece, we say that the bloc-i of the jth ata bloc i each pocesso afte Phase is j. Cosie the otatio equie i Phase. Each bloc with a bloc-i j i pocesso i ees to be otate to pocesso (i + j) mo. The bloc-i j, whee j -, ca be ecoe usig aix- epesetatio usig w = log igits. Fo coveiece, we efe to these w igits fom zeo though w - statig with the least sigificat igit. Ou algoithm fo Phase cosists of w subphases coespoig to the w igits. Each subphase cosists of at most - steps, coespoig to the (up to) - iffeet o-zeo values of a give igit. I subphase x, fo x w -, we iteate Step though Step -, as follows: Duig Step z of subphase x, whee z - a x w -, all ata blocs, fo which the xth igit of thei bloc-i is z, ae otate z x steps to the ight. This is accomplishe i a commuicatio ou by a iect poit-to-poit commuicatios betwee pocesso i a pocesso (i + z x ) mo, fo each i -. Fo example, whe is chose to be 3, the fifth bloc will be otate two steps to the ight uig Step of Subphase, a late otate agai thee steps to the ight uig Step of Subphase. This follows fom the fact that 5 is ecoe ito usig aix-3 epesetatio. Note that, afte w subphases, all ata blocs have bee otate to the coect estiatio pocesso as specifie by the pocesso i. Howeve, ata blocs ae ot ecessaily i thei coect memoy locatios. Phase 3 of the algoithm fixes this poblem. The followig poits ae mae egaig the pefomace of this algoithm. Each step ca be ealize by a sigle commuicatio ou by pacig all the outgoig blocs to the same estiatio ito a tempoay aay a seig them togethe i oe message. Hece, each subphase ca be ealize i at most - commuicatio ous. The size of each message ivolve i a commuicatio ou is at most b ata. Hece, the class of the iex algoithms has complexity measues C - a f log a a f log, C b - whee is chose i the age. 3.3 Two Special Cases The class of algoithms fo the iex opeatio i the oepot moel cotais two iteestig special cases: ) Whe =, the eive algoithm equies

The seco ow cocateatio algoithm is fo the case whe is a powe of two a = (see []). This algoithm is base o the stuctue of a biay hypecube a is optimal i both C a C. Fo a give, this algoithm ca be geealize to the case whee is a powe of + by usig the stuctue of a geealize hypecube [4]. Howeve, fo geeal values of, we o ot ow of ay existig cocateatio algoithm that is optimal i both C a i C, eve whe b = =. I this sectio, we peset efficiet cocateatio algoithms fo the -pot commuicatio moel that, i most cases of a, ae optimal i both C a C. Thoughout this sectio, we assume that is i the age -. Notice that, fo -, the tivial algoithm that taes a sigle ou is optimal. The mai stuctue that we use fo eivig the algoithms is that of ciculat gaphs. We ote hee that ciculat gaphs ae also useful i costuctig fault-toleat etwos [7]. DEFINITION. A ciculat gaph G(, S) is chaacteize by two paametes: the umbe of oes, a a set of offsets S. I G(, S), the oes ae labele fom though -, a each oe i is coecte to oe ((i - s) mo ) a to oe ((i+s) mo ) fo all s Œ S (see []). The cocateatio algoithm cosists of ous. Let eges {(, ), (, ),, (, )}.) I geeal, i ou, whee -, we a eges with offsets i S to the cuet patial spaig tee to fom a ew lage patial spaig tee. It is easy to veify that, afte - ous, the esultig tee spas the fist oes statig fom oe, amely, oes though -. Fig. 7 illustates the pocess of costuctig T fo the case of = a = 9. Next, we use tee T to costuct the spaig tees T i, fo i -. We o this by taslatig each oe j i T to oe (j + i) mo i T i. Also, the ou i associate with each tee ege i T i (which epesets the ou uig which the coespoig commuicatio is pefome) is the same as that of the coespoig tee ege i T. Fig. 8 illustates tee T fo the case of = a = 9. It is easy to see that T was obtaie fom T by aig oe (moulo ie) to the labels of the oes i T. log, that is, ( + ) - < ( + ). Also let = = + +, whee = ( + ) - a. The ous of the algoithm ca be ivie ito two phases. The fist phase cosists of - ous, at the e of which evey oe has the cocateatio esult of the - oes that pecee it i the umbeig (i a ciculat sese). The seco phase cosists of a sigle ou a completes the cocateatio opeatio amog the oes. Fig. 7. The two ous i costuctig the spaig tee oote at oe fo = 9 a =. 4. The Fist - Rous Fo the fist - ous, we use a ciculat gaph G(, S), whee S = S < S < < S -, S i = {( + ) i, ( + ) i, º, ( + ) i }. We ietify the pocessos with the oes of G(, S), which ae labele fom though -. The commuicatio patte elate to boacastig the ata item of each oe ca be escibe by a spaig tee. Let T i eote the spaig tee associate with the ata item B[i] of oe i (amely, T i is oote at oe i). We escibe the spaig tee associate with each oe by specifyig the eges that ae use i evey commuicatio ou. The eges associate with ou i ae calle ou-i-eges. Fist, we escibe the tee T, a the we show how tee T i, fo i -, ca be eive fom tee T. We stat with a iitial tee T which cosists oly of oe. I ou, we a eges with offsets i S to T to fom a patial spaig tee; the ae eges ae the ou--eges. (That is, i ou, we a the set of Fig. 8. The two ous i costuctig the spaig tee oote at oe fo = 9 a =.

Hece, it suffices to focus o the spaig tee T. Notice that the algoithm ca be implemete i a -pot moel, sice, i evey ou i, we use oly the set of offsets S i, which cosists of offsets. Also, the tee T is a spaig tee fo the oes p i, whee i -, because evey i i this age ca be epesete usig a set of istict offsets fom S. Hece, afte - ous of the algoithm, the ata items ae istibute accoig to the claim of the theoem. Next, we ee to pove that C associate with the - ous is as claime.

Howeve, by the lowe bou agumet, we have b C c -h, a the claim follows. 4. The Last Rou Befoe ou -, the last ou of the algoithm, we have the followig situatio: Evey oe i ha boacast its message to the - oes succeeig it i the cicula gaph a ha eceive the boacast message fom the - oes peceig it i the cicula gaph. Cosie tee T just befoe the last ou. The fist oes (oes though - ) ae iclue i the cuet tee, a the emaiig oes still ee to be spae. We big the followig popositio. PROPOSITION 4.. The last ou ca be pefome with C b =, fo ay combiatio of, b, a, except fo the followig age: b 3, 3, a ( + ) - < < ( + ), fo some. The poof of this popositio is somewhat complicate, a we oly give the mai ieas hee. The basic iea is to tasfom the scheulig poblem fo the last ou of the algoithm ito a table patitioig poblem. (I the sese that, if the table patitioig poblem ca be solve, the we have a optimal algoithm by eivig a optimal scheule fo the last ou.) The table patitioig poblem is efie as follows. Let a = b. Give a table of b ows a colums, we woul lie to patitio the table ito isjoit aeas, eote by A, A,, A, such that the colum-spa of A i, fo all i, is at most, whee the colum-spa of A i is efie as R i - L i + if R i a L i ae the ightmost a leftmost colums, espectively, touche by A i ; a the umbe of table eties i A i, fo all i, is at most a. If a solutio ca be fou to the table-patitioig poblem, the a scheule fo the last ou ca be eive as follows. Each of the table colums coespos to oe of the oes yet to be spae, a each of the b table ows epesets oe byte. Table elemets i the same aea, say A i, will use the same offset, which is etemie by the iex of the leftmost colum touche by A i. It ca be show that a staightfowa algoithm fo patitioig the table satisfies the above two coitios fo ay combiatio of, b, a, except fo the followig age: b 3, 3 a ( + ) - < < ( + ), fo some. Fo istace, Table pesets a patitioig example fo = 3, = 7, b = 3, a = 3, which fall i the optimal age of. The aea covee by A i is mae by the umbe i. Fom this table, oe ca eive the followig scheulig fo the last ou: The sum of the weighte eges with offset 3 (i aea A ) is 7. Thus, oe p 3 eceives thee bytes fom p, oe p 4 eceives thee bytes fom p, a oe p 5 eceives oe byte fom p. The sum of the weighte eges with offset 5 (i aea A ) is 7. Thus, oe p 5 eceives two bytes fom p, oe p 6 eceives thee bytes fom p, a oe p 7 eceives two bytes fom p 3. The sum of the weighte eges with offset 7 (i aea A 3 ) is 7. Thus, oe p 7 eceives oe byte fom p, oe p 8 eceives thee bytes fom p, a oe p 9 eceives thee bytes fom p. Afte otatio, to geeate spaig tees, each of which is oote at a iffeet oe, each oe i ees to se seve bytes to oes (i + 3) mo, (i + 5) mo, a (i + 7) mo, a eceive seve bytes fom oes (i - 3) mo, (i - 5) mo, a (i - 7) mo.
