Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of word-packet, slotted unidirectional ring-based hierarchical direct networks in the context of large-scale shared memory multiprocessors. Slotted unidirectional rings are attractive because their electrical characteristics and simple interfaces allow for fast cycle times and large bandwidths. For large-scale systems, it is necessary to use multiple rings for increased aggregate bandwidth. Hierarchies are attractive because the topology ensures unique... (Update)

...the system. On the other hand, the hierarchical ring networks have been found to be cost effective interconnection networks [9] 12] [10], 17] 2] This topology allows simple switches, which can be modeled as a two by two crossbar switch. The hierarchical structure can...

...message. Multiprocessor performance models have been developed to accommodate these kinds of assumptions about communication locality [1, 10]. Other researchers have recognized the importance of locality by designing multi hop networks that reduce cost by providing fewer...
