A Dependable Multistage Interconnection Network Topology and Fault-Tolerance

Abstract

Interconnecting networks will become more and more popular as computer networks spread. To facilitate communication across processes in various networks, this paper examines the challenges associated with connecting heterogeneous computer networks. The course includes a thorough overview of pertinent literature. The degree of network interconnectedness, global addressing and routing strategies, and the roles played by interfaces and gateways between networks are covered. Developing larger supercomputers and more dependable parallel computing systems has garnered significant attention and effort. Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are frequently utilized as interconnection mediums in supercomputer environments because of their fault tolerance, low cost, minimal transmission delay, and self-routing capabilities, enhanced by the growing number of nodes in the system. In distributed and parallel systems intended to provide quick and effective communication amongst high-capacity processors, MINs are frequently employed as switching fabrics.
