We will describe two known strategies for static processor
allocation in an n-cube multiprocessor, namely the buddy system
strategy and the gray code strategy, and then propose a new strategy
that outperforms the first by (n-k+1) and the second by (n-k+1)/2 in
cube recognition. Furthermore, our strategy is suitable for...
