The capability of fault tolerance is one of the advantages of multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we prove that the fault tolerance of an n-star graph is 2n-5 with restriction to the forbidden faulty set. And we propose an algorithm for examining the connectivity of an n-star graph when there exist at most 2n - 4 faults. The algorithm requires O(n2 log n) time. Besides, we improve the fault-tolerant routing algorithm proposed by Bagherzadeh et al. by calculating the cycle structure of a permutation and the avoidance of routing message to a node without any nonfaulty neighbor. This calculation needs only constant time. And then, we propose an efficient fault-tolerant broadcasting algorithm. When there is no fault, our broadcasting algorithm remains optimal. The penalty is O(n) if there exists only one fault, and the penalty is O(n2) if there exist at most n - 2 faults.

Free-space optical interconnection is used to fashion a reconfigurable network. Since network reconfiguration is expensive compared to message transmission in such networks, latency hiding techniques can be used to increase the performance of collective communications operations. Berthome and Ferreira have recently proposed a broadcasting algorithm for their loosely-coupled optically reconfigurable parallel computer where they have shown that the total number of nodes, N(S), informed up to step S follows a recurrence relation. We have adapted their algorithm to our reconfigurable optical network, RON (K, N), which has slightly different modeling. We present a new analysis of this broadcasting algorithm on our network. This paper contributes by providing closed formulations for the N(S) that yield the termination time for both single-port and k-port modeling. The derived closed formulate are easier to computer than the recurrence relations.
