As the performance of interconnection networks becomes increasingly limited by physical constraints in high-speed multiprocessor systems, the parameters of high-performance network design must be reevaluated, starting with a close examination of assumptions and requirements. This paper models network latency, taking both switch and wire delays into account. A simple closed form expression for c...

Last level cache management and core interconnection network play important roles in performance and power consumption in multicore system. Large scale chip multicore uses mesh interconnect widely due to scalability and simplicity of the mesh interconnection design. As interconnection network occupied significant area and consumes significant percent of system power, bufferless network is an ap...

Omega Networks are a famous subclass of blocking Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs). They have been recently identified as an efficient interconnection network for a switching fabric of communication structures such as gigabit ethernet switch, terabit router, and ATM switch. Interconnection network performance is also a key factor when constructing multiprocessor systems. In this paper ...

Interconnection networks are constructed to provide inter-process communication. These Networks are compared on the basis of Fault tolerance, Reliability, Path length and cost effectiveness. An irregular class of Fault Tolerant Multistage Interconnection Network (MIN) called Modified Four Double Tree Network-2 (MFDOT-2) is proposed.MFDOT-2 is constructed on the basis of FDOT-2 [1]. The Reliabil...

I examine interconnection decisions of horizontally differentiated firms. I find that previous results that firms do not interconnect enough, based on the finding that consumers always benefit from interconnection, are only half right. In a Hotelling, as opposed to a Cournot, model consumers may suffer from interconnection, and the firms may interconnect when it is not socially optimal (interco...

Wireless sensor networks and wireless mesh networks are popular research subjects. The interconnection of both network types enables nextgeneration applications and creates new optimization opportunities. However, current single-gateway solutions are suboptimal, as they do not allow advanced interactions between sensor networks (WSNs) and mesh networks (WMNs). Therefore, in this article, challe...

The interconnection network is the switching fabric responsible for providing communication between all processors in a parallel computer. Much research has been directed towards developing superior interconnection networks, but there is no general agreement that this problem is solved. The speakers for this panel session were asked to address the following question: for a given range of number...
