Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 電機工程學系 === 84 === In a Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN) , data transmission is usually carried out with time sharing bus . When more than one request asks to access the same memory module simultaneously , conflicts will result , and after some time the number of conflicts multiplies . Such a memory module demanded by multiple requests is called a hot spot . Several recent studies have indicated that the performance of MINs is degraded significantly with the hot spot traffic . The main goal of this research is to reduce the effect caused by hot spot traffic . To this end , two approaches , static and dynamic , are proposed . In the static scheme , multiple disjoint paths are found and provided as routing paths . We use the multiple disjoint paths to balance the network traffic when a hot spot occurs . The dynamic approach uses a routing algorithm with a state model to achieve routing and rerouting , and is able to reduce the effects of hot spot traffic efficiently . Extensive simulation runs are also conducted to collect the results which help displaying the improved performance .
