Use of the augmented data manipulator multistage network for simd machines

The capabilities of the augmented data manipulator (ADM) and the inverse ADM (IADM) as permutation networks for SIMD machines are explored. Redundant control settings for commonly used permutations are examined. A method to count the number of distinct permutations performable by these networks is given. Finally, techniques for controlling these networks in SIMD mode are
