In communication networks, Exchanged cross cube network is a new type of data network that makes use of cutting edge technology from several research areas to solve some problems current networks are faced with. The interconnection network plays an important role in large-scale parallel systems, because there is usually a need for one processor to communicate with other processors when a collec...

A Multiprocessor System (MS) is a single computer incorporating a number of independent processors that work together to solve a given problem. In MS, a suitable Multiprocessor Interconnection Network (MIN) is an integral part of any high-performance parallel system. MINs play an important role in the overall performance of the system for better load balancing. Deciding the appropriate network ...

The human brain efficiently solves certain operations such as object recognition and categorization through a massively parallel network of dedicated processors. However, human cognition also relies on the ability to perform an arbitrarily large set of tasks by flexibly recombining different processors into a novel chain. This flexibility comes at the cost of a severe slowing down and a seriali...

Network processors are application specific programmable processors and will become critical components of next-generation networking equipment. As Internet expands exponentially, the need for secure communication increases very quickly. The performance of communication applications including packet processing and cryptographic applications on network processors thus becomes an important issue ...

The era of programming with single processors has ended. Decades of prophesies have at last come true: programming with multiple processors has now entered the mainstream. Two forces have caused this transition to happen now. First, the Internet, which is a network of many loosely coupled processors. It had been gaining relevance for many years, but only recently has it achieved sufficient band...

We consider the following basic communication problems in a hypercube network of processors: the problem of a single processor sending a different packet to each of the other processors, the problem of simultaneous broadcast of the same packet from every processor to all other processors, and the problem of simultaneous exchange of different packets between every pair of processors. The algorit...

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. Interconnec...

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) refers to the use of commodity hardware resources as the basic platform to perform specialized network functions as opposed to specialized hardware devices. Currently, NFV is mainly implemented based on general purpose processors, or general purpose network processors. In this paper we propose the use of FPGAs as an ideal platform for NFV that can be used t...

Computer systems capable of teraflop computation are becoming a near-term reality with the emergence of high-speed powerful processors that can run cooperatively in a multiprocessor system.. The underlying fabric that supports communication among processors in the system is the interconnection network. The basic function of an interconnection network is to transfer information from the input no...

A number of experiments regarding the placement of instructions, private data and shared data in the Non-Uniform Memory Access multiprocessor, RP3 has been performed. Three Scientific/Mathematical workloads have been used in the experiments, and the results have been modelled in a simple performance model which takes linear contention into consideration. The results indicate that it can very we...
