- Performance Comparison of Wormhole-Routing Priority Switch Architectures
- Temporary nonuniform traffic patterns can severely degrade the performance of wormhole-routing multistage interconnection networks in multiprocessor systems. Temporary saturation trees build up inside the network under these traffic patterns that result in a temporary network overload with increased packet delay. Recently, enhanced switch box architectures and priority mechanisms were proposed...
