This paper investigates the usefulness of block partitioning in cluster computing in light of recent network improvements such as FDDI and high-speed switch technology. Mathematical characterizations of the communication costs for contiguous partitioning and block decomposition in both a ring-connected and switched network are presented. Simulations of ring and switch technologies indicate that as network speeds increase and as the effects of message-preparation latency dominate, the advantages claimed for block decomposition diminish
