“…These loss mechanisms can be guarded against by building fault-tolerance into the device network. 21,22 The next stage of development should resolve a number of practical considerations for the construction of arrays large enough to be implemented as electronics components, while retaining their functionality. Beyond the obvious demands for high brightness donors and efficient acceptors, it will be necessary, with orientational selectivity, to embed the donor and acceptor particles within a matrix that is transparent at the activating light frequencies.…”

In suitably designed nanoscale systems the ultrafast migration of uv/visible electromagnetic energy, despite its nearfield rather than propagating character, can be made highly directional. At the photon level such energy migration generally takes a multi-step form, with each step signifying the transfer of an electromagnetic quantum between chromophores playing the transient roles of source/donor and detector/acceptor. There is much interest in nanophotonic devices based on such mechanisms, although the excitation transfer is usually subject to losses such as radiative decay, and possible device applications are compromised by a lack of suitable control mechanisms. Until recently it appeared that only by inefficient and kinetically frustrated means, such as chromophore reorientation or movement, could significant control be effected. However in a system constructed to inhibit near-field propagation by geometric configuration, the throughput of laser pulses can facilitate energy transfer through a process of laser-assisted resonant energy transfer. Suitably configuring an arrangement of dipoles, it proves possible to design parallel arrays of optical donors and acceptors such that the transfer of energy from any single donor, to its counterpart in the opposing plane, is switched by throughput laser radiation of an appropriate intensity, frequency and polarization. A detailed appraisal of some possible realizations of this system reveals an intricate interplay of electronic structure, optical frequency and geometric factors. In the drive to miniaturize ultrafast optical switching and interconnect devices, the results suggest a new basis for optically activated transistor action in nanoscale components, with significant parallel processing capability.

“…Fault tolerance, reliability and permutation capability are the important issues and factors, which are able to measure the performance of a MIN. A number of research works have been done to design new networks and to increase the fault-tolerance in MIN [3], [4,5,6,7]. Various routing schemes and permutation capability and other issues related to routing have also been broadly researched [8,9,10], but a little research work has been done to the computation of reliability of these networks.…”

“…In single path MIN, there is one-to-one connection between each source and destination pair e.g. banyan network [1], baseline [8], butterfly [2], delta networks [5], binary n-cube network [6], omega network [7] and shuffle-exchange network. In a multi-path MIN there occurs one-to-many path connection between source and destination e.g.…”

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) play a vital role to accomplish high performance in the field of multiprocessing systems, parallel and distributed systems, networks-on-chips, broadband communications, and very large scale integration (VLSI) designs. A MIN is more reliable if it is able to handle the more faults encounter in different switching stages. In this paper, reliability of a MIN is investigated in terms of upper and lower bounds of Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) and a new network Modified Irregular Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network (MIASEN) has been proposed. The performance and comparison analysis shows that the proposed network is more reliable and fault tolerant than the existing Irregular Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network-2 (IASEN-2).

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) play a vivacious position to perform high performance within the discipline of VLSI, broadband communications, parallel and distributed systems designs. The problem of fault tolerance and cost effectiveness are the predominant challenges for calculating the overall performance of MINs. A MIN is better fault tolerant, if it may deal with the extra faults come across in different stages. The fault tolerance of proposed Modified Irregular Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network (MIASEN) [13] is examined in terms of bandwidth, processor utilization, throughput, probability of acceptance, and processing power. The performance and evaluation analysis indicates that the MIASEN is more fault tolerant than the existing Modified Alpha Network (MALN).
