Advances in circuit and integration technology are continuously boosting the speed of
microprocessors. One of the main challenges presented by such developments is the …

A ring topology is a common solution of network-on-chip (NoC) in industry, but is frequently
criticized to have poor scalability. In this paper, we present a novel type of multi-ring NoC …

The paper proposes an original wavelength-division multiplexing slotted-ring network
architecture with nodes that use one fixed transmitter and fixed receivers. It is shown …

Approximate analytical queuing network models for expected message packet delay in 2-
level and 3-level hierarchical ring interconnection networks (INs) are developed. A major …

Performance analyses of packet-switched multiple-bus multiprocessor systems are
presented. Approximate queuing network models are developed for both synchronous and …
