Abstract

The novel approach to the performance analysis of interconnection networks is developed to better understand their various properties and to form a basis for a more accurate evaluation of the real costs of a network implementation. The performance of the interconnection network is analyzed using a simplified model in a packet-switched environment in which queueing effects are neglected. The class of multistage interconnection networks known as the generalized cube and examined in detail, and its performance measures are compared. The influence of different control mechanisms on the network performance is discussed
