Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit, comprising a L-level permutable switching network (L-PSN); wherein the L-PSN comprises an 0-th level of I[0] number of conductors selectively coupling a (L+1)-th level of I[L+1] number of conductors through L levels of conductors and (L+1) sets of switches for L≧1: wherein the I[i−1] number of conductors of the (i−1)-th level of conductors selectively couple to (I[i]/D[i]) number of conductors in each of the D[i] sets of conductors of the i-th level of conductors through a respective I[i−1] number of switches of the i-th set of switches for i=[1:L+1] without requiring traversal of any other conductors; wherein the Π at least one j selected from [1:L], D wherein for D
