Multiprocessor interconnection networks may reach congestion with high traffic loads, which
prevents reaching the wished performance. Unfortunately, many of the mechanisms …

Internet auctions have become an integral part of electronic commerce (EC) and a promising
field for applying agent technologies. Although the Internet provides an excellent …

Both deadlock avoidance and recovery techniques suffer from severe performance
degradation when the network is close to or beyond saturation. This performance …

As microprocessors become increasingly interconnected, the power consumed by the
interconnection network can no longer be ignored. Moreover, with demand for link …

Deadlock avoidance and recovery techniques suffer from severe performance degradation
when the network is close to or beyond saturation. Many parallel applications produce …

The hypercube and torus are two important message-passing network architectures of high-
performance multicomputers. Analytical models of multicomputer networks under the non …

This study presents a more realistic performance model for k-ary n-cube networks under
bursty traffic. The validity of the model is demonstrated by comparing analytical results to …

Traffic loads generated by many parallel applications can exhibit strong burstiness, which
may significantly affect the performance of interconnection networks supporting …

We describe a new linear programming(LP)-based hierarchical pitchmatching method. Whh
a simplified treatment of the intercell constraints, the size of the LP problems is significantly …

In this paper, we propose an efficient barrier synchronization scheme on networks with
arbitrary topologies. We first present a distributed method in building a barrier routing tree …
