Performance Analysis of Multiple Bus

In this paper, we study the performance of multiple bus networks with full bus-memory connection, single bus-memory connection, and partial bus-memory connection. Besides, we also propose one type of multiple bus networks, called partial bus networks with K classes. Under a nonuniform requesting model, hierarchical requesting model, the performance of the above multiple bus networks is anal zed. The cost and fault-tolerant capability of each muiiple bus network is evaluated and compared with one another. It can be shown that the proposed networks are useful in applications re uirin high performance and degree of fault-tolerance wi& m Aerate cost.
