A Survey and Analysis of the Properties of various Interconnection Networks

Abstract

In this paper, different types of interconnection networks are investigated and some of their properties are analyzed to summarize the differences in their network cost. The various properties of the interconnection networks such as connectivity, routing algorithm, diameter and broadcasting technology are investigated. This analysis gives a framework for the construction of more efficient interconnection networks in future.

Key words- Interconnection networks, network cost, routing algorithms, broadcasting technology
