CINSim – A COMPONENT-BASED INTERCONNECTION NETWORK SIMULATOR FOR MODELING DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION

چکیده
This paper presents a simulator for modeling dynamic reconfiguration of component-based interconnection networks. It is able to model and simulate all kinds of interconnection networks that are composed of switches, buffers, sources, and destinations. Steady-state simulation can be applied as well as terminating simulation to observe any transient behavior of the network. Due to the involved stochastic events, e.g. randomly generated traffic, confidence levels and estimated precisions are calculated to determine the accuracy of the results. Dynamic reconfiguration of networks can also be modeled by this simulator. Thus, the reconfiguration process can be observed to investigate the particular network behavior during this time interval. To the best of the authors’ knowledge that is the first simulator that is able to deal with dynamically reconfigurable interconnection networks.

A deadlock-free dynamic reconfiguration protocol for distributed routing on interconnection networks
In interconnection networks, reconfiguration protocol is necessary to remap and reconnect the network paths, so that the network remains connected. However, the reconfiguration process brings the deadlock problem and prevention of deadlock is a tedious task in this situation. In existing works, very little work have considered deadlock problem and further, they paid no attention to reduce packe...
متن کاملEvaluating the cost of the dynamic reconfiguration of a multicomputer network
The dynamic reconfiguration of the interconnection network is an advanced feature of some multicomputers. It allows to reduce the communication overhead, improving the performance. In a previous paper [6], we presented a reconfiguration algorithm based on a cost function. It reconfigured the network in such a way that the original topology was preserved. However, that algorithm did not take int...
