In dynamic interconnect networks, the nodes are interconnected via an array of simple switching elements. [3] This interconnection can then be changed by use of routing algorithms, such that the path from one node to other nodes can be varied. Dynamic interconnections can be classified as: Single stage Interconnect Network
Switched fabric or switching fabric is a network topology in which network nodes interconnect via one or more network switches [1] (particularly crossbar switches).Because a switched fabric network spreads network traffic across multiple physical links, it yields higher total throughput than broadcast networks, such as the early 10BASE5 version of Ethernet and most wireless networks such as Wi-Fi.
InfiniBand is also used as either a direct or switched interconnect between servers and storage systems, as well as an interconnect between storage systems. It is designed to be scalable and uses a switched fabric network topology. Between 2014 and June 2016, [1] it was the most commonly used interconnect in the TOP500 list of supercomputers.
Catenet, a short-form of (con)catenating networks, is obsolete terminolgy for a system of packet-switched communication networks interconnected via gateways. [3]The term was coined by Louis Pouzin in October 1973 in a note circulated to the International Network Working Group, [13] [14] later published in a 1974 paper "A Proposal for Interconnecting Packet Switching Networks". [15]
OSI subdivides the Network Layer into three sublayers: 3a) Subnetwork Access, 3b) Subnetwork Dependent Convergence and 3c) Subnetwork Independent Convergence. [35] It was designed to provide a unified data-carrying service for both circuit-based clients and packet-switching clients which provide a datagram-based service model. It can be used to ...
The major components of an interconnect network are: [citation needed] Processor nodes, which consist of one or more processors along with their caches, memories and communication assist. Switching nodes , which connect communication assist of different processor nodes in a system. In multistage topologies, higher level switching nodes connect ...
The basic building blocks of an interconnection network are its topology, routing algorithm, switching strategy and the flow control mechanism. Topology: This refers to the general infrastructure of the interconnection network; the pattern in which multiple processors are connected. This pattern could either be regular or irregular, though many ...
An 8x8 Omega network is a multistage interconnection network, meaning that processing elements (PEs) are connected using multiple stages of switches. Inputs and outputs are given addresses as shown in the figure. The outputs from each stage are connected to the inputs of the next stage using a perfect shuffle connection system. This means that ...
