ABSTRACT: The hex-cell is one of the interconnection networks used for
parallel systems. The main idea of the hex-cell is that there are hexagon cells
that construct the network; each one of those cells has six nodes. The
performance of the network is affected by many factors one of the factors as
load balancing. Until the moment of writing of this paper, there is no load
balancing algorithm for this network. The proposed algorithm for dynamic load
balancing on hex-cell is based on Tree Walking Algorithm (TWA) for load
balancing on tree interconnection network and the ring all to all broadcast.
