Abstract

Interconnection networks provide communication among processors, memory modules, and other devices in parallel computer systems. The number of stages, interconnection topology, and the types of SE used in the network configuration differentiate each interconnection network. As an illustration, there are numerous aspects that are important in the development of interconnection networks. Reliability can be considered as an important factor to measure the performance in the network. The reliability for interconnection network depends on the reliability of its components. In this paper, we examine the various topologies of interconnection, communication protocol, and discuss reliability issues related to interconnection network.
