Topologically flexible and highspeed network (ToF-Net)

Many applications on multiprocessors have their own locality in communication. Since convectional networks don´t necessarily make full use of these localities, it sometimes causes local congestion of networks and large latency. In this paper, we propose a new network architecture (ToF-net). It has topological and routing flexibility with low latency. Also, the ASIC that we developed to organize it is presented. According to our estimation, the ToF-Net has the advantage of less latency and higher throughput with increasing locality or packet length over conventional networks such as 3-D torus and hypercube
