Interconnections for Computer Communications and Packet Networks The book will introduce the most relevant interconnection networks, queuing strategies, and routing algorithm It discusses their properties and how these leverage the performance of the whole interconnection system
Interconnection Networks and Mapping and Scheduling Parallel Computations Focusing on interconnection networks of parallel architectures of today and of the near future, the book includes topics such as network topologies, network properties, message routing, network embeddings, network emulation, mappings, and efficient scheduling
Lecture notes: Interconnection networks - Thomas Ropars This lecture presents interconnection network for parallel distributed memory systems It in-troduces the main characteristics of interconnection networks and presents some major network topologies
ECE 1749H: Interconnection Networks for Parallel Computer Architectures . . . Topology Overview Definition: determines arrangement of channels and nodes in network Analogous to road map Often first step in network design Significant impact on network cost-performance Determines number of hops Latency Network energy consumption
Interconnection networks Routing algorithms define the path taken by a packet between source and destination Deadlock: packets waiting for each other in a cycle Livelock: packets circulating the network without making any progress towards their destination Starvation: packets being blocked in buffer as the output channel is always allocated to other packets
Strategies for interconnection networks: Some methods from graph theory Recent advances in technology, especially the advent of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit technology, have enabled very complex interconnection networks to be constructed It is well known that telecommunication networks or interconnection net- works can be modeled by graphs
Principles and Practices of Interconnection Networks Home Page In this book, we share with you, the reader, the bene t of this experience in the form of a set of simple principles for interconnection network design based on topology, routing, flow control, and router architecture
Universal Routing Strategies for Interconnection Networks This book presents the history and state of the art of universal routing strategies, which can be applied to networks independently of their respective topologies It opens with a self-contained introduction, accessible also to newcomers
