Projective Networks: Topologies for Large Parallel Computer Systems

Interconnection Topologies for Parallel Processing Systems

The growing demand for more computing power at increasing speed in many scienti c and engineering applications made it necessary to develop advanced computer archi tectures based on the concept of parallel processing In general a parallel computer system consists of various processing and memory units and other shared resources A critical issue in design and analysis of parallel systems is the ...

Interconnection Topologies and Routing for Parallel Processing Systems

The major aims of this work is to give a comparative survey of static interconnection topologies and to discuss their properties with respect to their use as interconnection topolo gies in message passing multi computer systems i e each processing element has its own local memory there is no common memory and the processing elements communicate via message passing To this end it was necessary t...

Interconnects for Large Computer Systems

This white paper explores issues in extending the Lightfleet direct-broadcast interconnect for addressing large numbers of endpoints. In particular, connectivity issues in cloud computing, server farms, supercomputing, storage farms, and telecommunication installations are discussed. The several approaches presently in use are compared and contrasted to similar methods enabled by the Lightfleet...

Hierarchical Topologies for Large-scale Two-level Networks

We present in this paper some of the topological properties of an interesting class of Circulant graphs whose nodes are labeled by a subset of the Gaussian integers. Such graphs and the problems we solve on them have direct applications to the design of interconnection networks and, in addition, they can be considered in the design of perfect error-correcting codes for two-dimensional signal sp...
