A Review of Matrix multiplication in Multicore Processor using Interconnection Network

One of the most important constraints of today’s architectures for data-intensive applications is the limited bandwidth due to the memory-processor communication bottleneck. This significantly impacts performance and energy. Interconnection network is an important component of a parallel computer. Hypercube Interconnection network provides a strong reliable network among processors. Interconnection networks play a central role in determining the overall performance of the multiprocessor systems. The interconnection network is placed between various devices in the multiprocessor network. Parallel machines break a single problem down into parallel tasks that are performed concurrently, reducing significantly the application processing time.The estimation of time taken of matrix multiplication by hypercube interconnection network in multi-core processors will be calculated. For achieving parallelism OMP parallel programming model which performs parallelism in shared memory environment will be used.
