Title
Performance evaluation of generic multi-stage interconnection networks with blocking and back-pressure mechanism
Abstract
Multi-stage interconnection networks (MINs) have frequently been proposed as connection means in traditional parallel systems and networks-on-chip. Most of the existing papers consider some specific traffic patterns over these networks, such as uniform traffic. In this paper, the performance of MIN operating under different types of traffic patterns is analyzed. Then, an analytical model is suggested to evaluate the performance of such systems. Moreover, a novel meta-heuristic approach is proposed, that is capable of alleviating some issues of iterative methods used in the literature. Simulation experiments show that the results achieved by the proposed model are in good agreement with those obtained through simulation.
