| Abstract | In circuit-switched routing, the path between a source and its destination is established by incrementally reserving all required links before the data transmission can begin. If the routing algorithm is not carefully designed, deadlocks can occur in reserving these links. Deadlock-free algorithms based on dimension-ordered routing, such as the $\textit{E-cube},$ exist. However, $\textit{E-cube}$ does not provide any flexibility in choosing a path from a source to its destination and can thus result in long latencies under heavy or uneven traffic. Adaptive, minimum-distance routing algorithms, such as the Turn Model and the UP Preference algorithms, have previously been reported. In this article, we present a new class of adaptive, provably deadlock-free, minimum-distance routing algorithms. We prove that the algorithms developed here are optimally adaptive in the sense that any further flexibility in communication will result in deadlock. We show that the Turn Model is actually a member of our new class of algorithms that does not perform as well as other algorithms within the new class. It creates artificial hotspots in routing the traffic and allows fewer total paths. We present an analytical comparison of the flexibility and balance in routing provided by various algorithms and a comparison based on uniform and nonuniform traffic simulations. The Extended UP Preference algorithm developed in this article is shown to have improved performance with respect to existing algorithms. The methodology and the algorithms developed here can be used to develop routing for other schemes such as wormhole routing, and for other recursively defined networks such as $\textit{k}-ary$ $\textit{n}-cubes.$ |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
