CINSim ñ A COMPONENT-BASED INTERCONNECTION NETWORK SIMULATOR FOR MODELING DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION
Dietmar Tutsch, Arvid Walter, K Matthias · 2005
This paper presents a simulator for modeling dynamic reconguration of component-based interconnection networks. It is able to model and simulate all kinds of interconnection networks that are composed of switches, buffers, sources, and destinations. Steady-state simulation can be applied as well as terminating simulation to observe any transient behavior of the network. Due to the involved stochastic events, e.g. randomly generated trafc, condence levels and estimated precisions are calculated to determine the accuracy of the results. Dynamic reconguration of networks can also be modeled by this simulator. Thus, the reconguration process can be observed to investigate the particular network behavior during this time interval. To the best of the authors’ knowledge that is the rst simulator that is able to deal with dynamically recongurable interconnection networks.
