Networks for parallel processors: measurements and prognostications
Dirk C. Grunwald, Daniel A. Reed · 1988
Improvements in the performance of communication networks will soon alter the criteria for multicomputers efficient algorithm design. To study the performance of existing and proposed network implementations, we conducted parametric simulation studies of several message routing paradigms, assuming an equivalent hardware implementation. Using the results of these simulations, we have developed qualitative analytic models that provide insight into network behavior.
