Performance Analysis of Finite-Buffered Multistage Interconnection Networks

摘要

A new model for the performance evaluation of finitebuffered multistage interconnection networks (MINs)is proposed.In contrast to previous models,which ale either rather inaccurate when input load is high or only applicable to some special cases (e.g.,infinite buffers,single buffers,or low input load),the proposed model is very accurate for all ranges of input load and allows switching elements and buffers modules to be of any arbitrary sizes.
