Formulating broadcast reliability equations on multilayer multistage interconnection networks

Abstract

A non-negligible demand on today's modern interconnection networks is to deliver multicast traffic. One of the new ideas to cope with this problem is to use the multilayer multistage interconnection networks (MLMINs). On the other hand, another critical parameter to prove the performance of most systems is reliability. Therefore, in this paper, our focus is to formulate the reliability equations on MLMINs to achieve two objectives: First, development of analytical methods using reliability equations to present an exact solution for computing the reliability of MLMINs, second, preparing a basis for calculating the optimal values for topological parameters of MLMINs

Evaluation of Reliability in Component-Based System Using Architecture Topology

“…So, the first thing is TSP call graph extraction from its source code. Here, NDepend tool used to extract the call graph [21] which is then can be used as input for the DAGC in order to extract the application architecture. Fig.…”

Impact of Raising Switching Stages on the Reliability of Interconnection Networks

“…In addition, MINs are one of the cost-effective options to meet these needs [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. On the other hand, reliability is an essential requirement for improving the efficiency of these networks [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. One popular idea to improve the fault tolerance and reliability of the MINs is increasing the number of switching stages.…”

“…Terminal MTTF as a function of network size.According to the Eqs. (23) through(25), broadcast MTTF analysis results as a function of network size are summarized in table 5. According to this table, SEN+ has higher broadcast MTTF compared to SEN, especially at small network sizes.…”
