A new interconnection network for massively parallel computing is introduced. This network is called a Hierarchal Optical Ring INterconnection (HORN). HORN consists of a single-hop, scalable, constant degree, strictly non-blocking, fault-tolerant interconnection topology that utilizes Wavelength Division Multiple Access (WDMA) to provide better utilization of the terahertz (THz) bandwidth o ere...

The interdependence between communication networks, e.g., an optical backbone network, and power grids is a critical issue to take into account when designing operating both systems. In fact, failures in one network may cause further the other vice versa. This because nodes (i.e., generators, loads or interchange nodes) are controlled managed by telecommunication equipment, which, turn, rely on...

In a parallel processing system, Multi-stage Interconnection Networks (MINs) play a vital role in making the network reliable and cost effective. The MIN is an important piece of architecture for a multiprocessor system, and it has a good impact in the field of communication. Optical Multi-stage Interconnection Networks (OMINs) are the advanced version of MINs. The main problem with OMINs is cr...

Wireless network on chip (WiNoC) is one of the promising on-chip interconnection networks for on-chip system architectures. In addition to wired links, these architectures also use wireless links. Using these wireless links makes packets reach destination nodes faster and with less power consumption. These wireless links are provided by wireless interfaces in wireless routers. The WiNoC archite...

Congestion management and quality of service (QoS) provision are two important issues in current network design. The most popular techniques proposed for both issues require the existence of specific resources in the interconnection network, usually a high number of separate queues at switch ports. Therefore, the implementation of these techniques is expensive or even infeasible. However, two n...

The performance of dataand telecommunication equipment must keep up with the increasing network speed. At the same time, one must deal with the internal interconnection complexity, often growing exponentially with the number of ports. Therefore, new interconnection technologies to be used internally in the equipment are needed. Optical interconnection technology is a promising alternative and m...
