The effectiveness of a parallel or distributed system is often determined by its communication network. In order to operate more efficiently a network is required to provide low latency and be able to handle large amount of traffic. This paper introduces a new fault-tolerant multistage interconnection networks (MIN) named as Modified Augmented Baseline Network (MABN). Performance of the propose...

Multistage network based input-buffered ATM switches, which have been studied extensively in the recent past, are cheaper compared to crossbar designs but suffer from elaborate cell selection methods or expensive network setup. In this paper, a fast cell selection method is proposed to avoid slow cell selection and costly network setup for these designs. In particular, we propose network hardwa...

Abstract— Sorting Networks are cost-effective multistage interconnection networks with sorting capabilities. These networks theoretically consume Θ(NlogN) comparisons. However, the fastest implementable sorting networks built so far consume Θ(NlogN) comparisons, and generally, use the Merge-sorting strategy to sort the input. An 18-element network using the Merge-sorting strategy needs at least...

A full custom design of a three-stage amplifier is described in this paper. A feedback transconductance stage and a feedforward stage combined with two Miller compensation capacitors are used for frequency compensation. The circuit is designed in 0.18μm CMOS process with a 1.8V supply voltage. When driving a 150pF capacitive load, the amplifier achieves over 100dB dc gain, 2.24MHz gainbandwidth...

The combination of feedforward control and programmable tooling has emerged as a promising method to reduce product variation in multistage manufacturing systems. Feedforward control allows compensation of deviations on a part-by-part basis using programmable tooling. This paper addresses the problem of designing an optimal feedforward control law that improves quality. The controller design in...

Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are used to connect N inputs to N outputs. They are mainly used to connect processor to processor and for processor to memory in distributed and shared memory environment. The MINs are broadly divided into three categories Blocking Non Blocking and Rearrangeable networks. A new improved Arbitrary size Benes network has been proposed in this to improve ...

Abstract: AMBAR is a message passing multiprocessor system based on a multistage crossbar network. In this paper, the design of a crossbar controller for AMBAR system is presented. The responsibility of the crossbar controller is to program the crossbar switches creating a path between the source and the destination node. The design is modular, fast, and feasible using current off the shelf com...

With the recognition of the importance of organizational knowledge management (KM), researchers have paid increasing attention to knowledge management systems (KMS). However, since most prior studies were conducted in the context of Western societies, we know little about KMS diffusion in other regional contexts. Moreover, even with the increasing recognition of the influence of social factors ...

Considering continuous routing, we analyze the transient behavior of n n routers with input buuering, split input buuering, output buuering, and central buuering with dedicated virtual circuits, one for each source-destination pair in a network. Assuming similar buuer space requirements, output buuering has the highest throughput. Split input buuering and central buuering have comparable perfor...
