Title: Design and Reliability Analysis of a new Fault-tolerant Multistage Interconnection Network
Authors: Rinkle Aggarwal, Dr. Lakhwinder Kaur, Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal
Abstract: The design of a suitable interconnection network for inter-processor communication is one of the key issues of the system performance. The reliability of these networks and their ability to continue operating despite failures are major concerns in determining the overall system performance. In this paper a new irregular network IASEN (Irregular Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network) has been proposed, which is derived from the ASEN-2 (Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network). ASEN-2 is a regular multipath network with limited fault tolerance. The reliabilities of the IASEN and ASEN-2 multi-stage interconnection networks have been calculated and compared in terms of the Upper and Lower bounds of Mean Time To Failure (MTTF). It has been observed that the proposed multistage interconnection network IASEN provides much better fault-tolerance by providing more paths between any pair of source-destination and better reliability at the expanse of little more cost than ASEN-2.
