RMB-a reconfigurable multiple bus network
Hossam A. ElGindy, H. Schröder, Andrew Spray, Arun K. Somani, Hartmut Schmeck · 2002
The heart of a massively parallel computer is its interconnection network. In this article we present a reconfigurable multiple bas network to support circuit switching as means of communication between processors of a multiprocessor machine. The main contribution of the papers is in demonstrating the simplicity of the routing hardware whilst still providing modularity and full utilization of the multiple bus system. A comparison with major interconnection network is also presented.
