Copublished by the IEEE CS and the IEEE CASS September–October 2005 IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE this special issue on networks on chips (NoCs). Large, complex multiprocessor-based SoC platforms are already well into existence, and, according to common expectations and technology roadmaps, the emergence of billion-transistor chips is just around the corner. The complexity of such systems cal...

A design analysis and comparison of a product network generated from torus and hypercube networks known as torus embedded hypercube scalable interconnection network suitable for parallel computers is presented in this paper. It is shown here that with minor modifications in architecture of the existing mesh embedded hypercube interconnection network how good a torus embedded hypercube interconn...

We consider a grid network where nodes contain small buffers. A packet that faces a crowded buffer in its route will get extra latency and may be dropped. In this paper, we propose a novel flow control protocol called RFCC for grid networks. RFCC tries to reroute delayed packets and utilizes network coding to introduce a configurable amount of redundant information in the network, thereby incre...

Parallel processing is an efficient form of information processing system, which emphasizes the exploitation of concurrent events in the computing process. To achieve parallel processing it’s required to develop more capable and costeffective systems. In order to operate more efficiently a network is required to handle large amount of traffic. Multi-stage Interconnection Network plays a vital r...

For the interconnection networks of multiprocessors, performance measures such as the request acceptance probability and the network delay are known to improve as the hasic switch size increases. However, the network cost also increases at the same time. Thus, the choice of the switch size provides important cost versus performance tradeoffs once a particular network configuration has been deci...

We develop a model of competition between interconnected networks, that allows for carriers to differ in size. Under two-part pricing, we show that because of asymmetry the larger network will always prefer a reciprocal interconnection charge be set at cost. For sufficiently large asymmetry the smaller network will have the same preference. Under the assumptions of our model a particularly simp...

Parallel computer networks are interesting topic, but they are also difficult to understand in an overall sense. The topological structure of these networks has elegant mathematical properties, and there are deep relationships between these topologies and the fundamental communication patterns of important parallel algorithms. In this paper we would like to provide a holistic understanding of p...

supply chain network   receding horizon control demand move suppression term   supply chain networks are interconnection and dynamics of a demand network. example subsystems, referred to as stages, include raw materials, distributors of the raw materials, manufacturers, distributors of the manufactured products, retailers, and customers. the main objectives of the control strategy for the suppl...

An interconnection network system consists of layers of switching elements connected together in a predefined topology providing the connectivity between the set of processors and the set of memory modules. Performance analysis of a network system is important as it determines the usability and the efficiency of the network to provide services. A shuffle-exchange network (SEN), a specific type ...
