Adaptive Source Routing in Multistage Interconnection Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the adaptive source routing (ASR) method which is a first attempt to combine adaptive routing and source routing methods. In ASR, the adaptivity of each packet is determined at the source processor. Every packet can be routed in a fully adaptive or partially adaptive or non–adaptive manner, all within the same network at the same time. We evaluate and compare performance of the proposed adaptive source routing networks and oblivious routing networks by simulations. We also describe a route generation algorithm that determines maximally adaptive routes in multistage networks.

Adaptive Routing in RS/6000 SP-Like Bidirectional Multistage Interconnection Networks
The IBM RS/6000 SP is one of the most successful commercially available multicomputers. SP owes its success partially to the scalable, high bandwidth, low latency network. In this paper, we present the adaptive routing scheme used in the new SP network switch chip called the Switch2. We show that the adaptive routing methods outperform the oblivious routing methods on SP like multistage network...
متن کاملStar-Graph based multistage interconnection network for ATM switch fabric
This paper considers a multistage interconnection network based on the Indirect Star Graph topology as a candidate for an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switch fabric. We consider both buffered and unbuffered versions of the indirect star. The performance of three existing routing algorithms is studied, and it is found that the packet acceptance probability offered by these algorithms is unsa...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a New Neural Network for Routing in Mesh Interconnection Networks
Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural ne...

متن کاملEmpirical evaluation of randomly-wire multistage networks
In this paper, we present experimental data indicating that multistage interconnection networks with randomly positioned wires are likely to be substantially better for message routing applications than traditional multistage networks such as the butterfly. Data is presented for a variety of routing models, including storeand-forward routing, cut-through routing, and circuit switching, as well ...
