Abstract

A chaos router system for routing messages between connected nodes in a multicomputer or multiprocessor system is disclosed. In such a system, a message may be routed between nodes along a preferred channel so that it is closer to its destination or derouted between nodes along a random channel so that it is further from its destination. The chaos router system explicitly randomizes message selection during derouting. In an asynchronous multicomputer system, the router system keeps the overall system chaotic. In this manner, the system is probabilistically livelock free.
