Abstract—In this paper, we give two algorithms for the 1-1 routing problems on a mesh-connected computer. The first algorithm, with queue size 28, solves the 1-1 routing problem on an $n\times n$ mesh-connected computer in $2n+O\left(1\right)$ steps. This improves the previous queue size of $75$. The second algorithm solves the 1-1 routing problem in $2n-2$ steps with queue size $12t_s/s$ where $t_s$ is the time for sorting an $s\times s$ mesh into a row major order for all $s\geq 1$. This result improves the previous queue size $18.67t_s/s$.
