Reliability Review of Interconnection Networks

Mean Time to Failure Analysis in Shuffle Exchange Systems

“…The basic fault tolerance initiative is to provide various routes for a source and destination pair (Gunawan & Fard, 2012). The switching network is made up of a with a large amount of switching nodes, therefore the velocity of the switching control over the entire network relies on how it is distributed (Yunus et al, 2016). MINs is capable to ensureat least one substitute path available to use when there is a collision or fault in order to maintainthe reliability of the load (Nitin et al, 2011).…”

Quantitative analysis of multilayer switching networks providing multiple internal routes

“…Reliability issues of MIN fabrics have been studied in the past, [5][6][7][8] and the role of the number of stages in the reliability of MINs is explained in Yunus et al 9 Fault tolerance issues have also been investigated [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] for various MIN architectures. Reliability represents the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time, while fault tolerance is the ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults.…”

“…6,8,23 Supposing there is a switching subsystem with a series of n switch components, each of them depicting r i reliability; then, the reliability of this subsystem is calculated by Here, the point-to-point reliability is used, also called terminal reliability.…”

“…The reliability between an arbitrary given pair is dependent on all the involved switch elements insofar as the failure of each element implies the failure of the current routing action. 6,8,23 Supposing there is a switching subsystem with a series of n switch components, each of them depicting r i reliability; then, the reliability of this subsystem is calculated by…”
