Analysis of multiple-bus interconnection networks

Multi-processor systems need interconnection networks (INs) in order to make the connection among the processors, memory modules, and nodes. Bus interconnection network is the simplest and least expensive one among all the INs. Therefore, bus network is ...

The authors study the performance of multiprocessor systems employing multiple buses as the interconnection networks under a nonuniform requesting model, called the hierarchical requesting model. The effective memory bandwidth is chosen as the ...

VLSI communication networks are wire-limited, i.e. the cost of a network is not a function of the number of switches required, but rather a function of the wiring density required to construct the network. Communication networks of varying dimensions ...
