The two-bounce free-space arbitrary interconnection architecture is presented. It results from a series of three-dimensional topological transformations to the Benes network, the minimum rearrangeable nonblocking network. Although functionally equivalent to the Benes network, it requires only two stages of global (spanning multiple chips) optical interconnections. The remaining stages of the mo...

In this paper, five different variants of interconnection networks such as Hypercube Network, Folded Hypercube Network, Multiply Twisted Hypercube Network, Recursive Circulant Hypercube Network and Multiple Reduced Hypercube Network are illustrated using Network Simulator and various physical and logical factors such as time, size of the packet, type of packet, speed, coverage and packet loss a...

High performance computing systems can be designed using parallel processing. The effectiveness of these parallel systems rests primarily on the communication network linking processors and memory modules. Hence, an interconnection network that provides the desired connectivity and performance at minimum cost is required. The design of a suitable interconnection network for inter-processor comm...

-A new paradigm for an all-to-all optical interconnection network is presented. An interesting modeling aspect is that (limited) bending of optical communication channels is allowed. In a computer system, the paradigm could provide part of an interconnection fabric between several tens (e.g., 64) of chips comprising parallel processing elements and the first level of the cache. An optical inter...

All-optical multistage interconnection networks are desirable for overcoming the limitations of optical signal regeneration in switching systems. We present a new implementation of the perfect-shuffle interconnection pattern that is coupled with an all-optical switching element, forming a complete stage of a multistage network. Switching is performed with birefringent calcite crystals and a fer...

Multistage interconnection networks are used in many applications ranging from connecting processors to memory modules in a parallel processing system, to high-speed network switches and routers. One of the major drawbacks in multistage networks is the lack of proximity concept. All nodes are at the same distance from any other node. In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical Multistage Netwo...
