PERFORMANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF 4x4 SWITCHING NODES IN AN INTERCONNECTION NETWORK FOR PASM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design issues for the multistage Generalized Cube network are discussed in this paper. An analysis of the merits of 2-input/2-output interchange boxes versus 4-input/4-output crossbars for interconnection network implementation is made. The cost and performance of each network for the two switching node alternatives are examined. Discussion of the sui tabi l i ty of each approach for VLSI implementation is included. I t is shown that in a packet switching environment, 4x4 crossbars outperform, and are less expensive to implement than the four interchange boxes they replace.

The PASM prototype interconnection network design
Computer system design costs traditionally have been dominated by the development and production costs of hardware. The availability of large-scale integrated circuitry has dramatically cut the cost of system hardware to the point where new architectural designs can be built and tested at a comparatively low cost. The P ASM prototype currently under development will be used to validate the desi...
متن کاملCascading switching nodes in data vortex optical packet interconnection network - Electronics Letters
Introduction: Ultra-high capacity optical interconnection networks are considered as a potential solution to the immense processormemory access communications bottleneck, which is expected to dominate high-performance supercomputers [1, 2]. Optical packet switching fabrics have the potential to supply this next-generation technology with the performance characteristics necessary for efficient c...
متن کاملPerformance Modeling and Analysis of OTIS Networks
The most determining factors of the performance of a uniprocessor system are its architecture and the technology in which it is implemented. But when a number of such processors are interconnected to form a multiprocessor system, the performance of the whole system is significantly influenced by the nature in which the processors transfer data between each other; e.g. the technology, topology, ...
متن کاملArbitration-free Time-Division Permutation Switching suitable for All-Optical Implementation
Pursuing high-bandwidth and transparency for optical communications, we propose here a multistage switching fabric whose internal interconnection patterns are periodically reconfigured. Specifically, by cascading guided-wave modules containing each a small set of interleaved, independent addressable plane-to-plane global interconnections, we experimentally demonstrate arbitration-free time-divi...
متن کاملSpeedup of Data Vortex Network Architecture
In this paper, routing nodes are proposed to provide speedup and parallel processing capability in Data Vortex network architectures. The new design not only significantly improves network throughput and latency, but also eliminates the need for distributive traffic control mechanism originally embedded among nodes and the need for nodal buffering. The cost effectiveness is studied by a compari...
