Beschreibung:
Interconnection networks are widely used in the design of a) multi-core processors, b) local and wide area network, c) high-performance switches and routers. The study of interconnection networks was initially motivated by the development of the telephone and super-computers in the past. Many of these principles are still being applied to new technologies and new interconnection topologies for multi-processor computers, packet networks, and data centers. The book presents the reader with interconnection concepts in terms that are simple to understand and transitions from simple to new technologies in a concise manner.
