Abstract:
The paper investigates an impact of using k ports in the direct communication model of collective communications on the overall performance of the Spidergon interconnection network. Since the higher number of k internal ports can improve performance but increase the cost of interconnection network, the performed analysis introduces the ideal performance-cost tradeoff on slim- and fat-node Spidergon networks.
