Abstract

This paper considers the performance of interconnection networks in single-core and multi-core cluster architectures. Several parameters and system configurations are considered to optimise the performance of single-core cluster as a baseline experiment. These results have been extended to multi-core cluster architectures. The performance measurement involved communication within and between clusters with varying numbers of processor cores to provide a comparative analysis of single-core and multi-core cluster architectures. Analytical analysis provides validation of the simulation results.
