Summary: | 碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 85 === Irregular networks composed of switches can provide scalable
bandwidth andflexible network configuration. Networks with
virtual cut-through routingachieve high-performance
communication in a multiprocessor system. We proposea thee-based
routing architecture for irregular networks (TRAIN) that uses a
spanning tree for the backbone of the network. Besides the tree
links, ourrouting architecture uses the other available links in
the network as shortcutsto maximize network performance. The
TRAIN routing scheme requires no routingtable in the routing
switches, and is shown to be deadlock-free. From ourperformance
simulation, TRAIN provides high throughput and low latency for
both regular and irregular networks. It is a deadlock-free
adaptive schemewithout virtual channels and provides fault
tolerance by reconfiguration.
