Communication Performance Evaluation and Analysis of a Mesh System Area Network for High Performance Computers

The design of an interconnection network and switch architectural design are significantly influenced by contemporary supercomputer technology. As technology evolves, its impact on interconnection network needs to be reevaluated and elaborated. In this paper we have traced the path in this direction and addressed performance analyses of a high speed 4x4 switch design and interconnect network in mesh topology on the basis of computer simulations using OMNeT++. The suggested models have been verified on the basis of program implementations on IBM HS21 blade center.
