Abstract:
Multilayer multistage interconnection networks have introduced multiple parallel layers for enhancing performance metrics over traditional multistage interconnection networks. In this work, we propose an innovative multilayer multistage interconnection network fabric, which improves the switch efficiency by allowing multiple internal paths. The proposed fabric has demonstrated improved performance metrics compared to other existing fabrics and acceptable reliability in terms of fault tolerance. This type of fabric can considerably enhance the connection points of a modern network and improve its data flow. The configuration of the network allows for a conflict drop resolution mechanism or a classic backpressure blocking mechanism. This novel fabric can also handle multicast traffic, hotspot traffic or a combination of them.
