Abstract :
The authors have developed an exact model to evaluate the performance of multistage interconnection networks using internal shared buffering. The model assumes general output distribution which enables one to study the performance of such networks under any desired output distribution. Among many possible output distributions, uniform, hot spot and favorite distributions are used as examples. The model is validated by the comparison of numerical results with event simulation results
