Fault-Tolerant Hierarchical Networks for Shared Memory Multiprocessors and their Bandwidth Analysis
Syed Masud Mahmud · The Computer Journal · 2002
this paper, we have proposed two types of hierarchical interconnection networks which are fault tolerant and can be used to build large cluster-based multiprocessor systems. We have also developed analytical models to determine the performance of the proposed fault-tolerant HINs under fault-free and faulty conditions. Simulation models were also developed to verify the accuracy of the analytical models. The results obtained from the analytical models were found to be very close to those obtained from the simulation models
