Gaussian cubes are derived by removing links from a hypercube in a periodic fashion. By varying the partition parameter, one can obtain networks with different characteristics, while maintaining a basic framework for computation and communication. Unfortunately, such networks are in general not regular, making it difficult to derive their topological properties explicitly. In this paper, we study the diameter of Gaussian cubes and show the trade-off between cost and performance.
