Abstract

The bandwidth constraints placed on architectures by implementation technology are a critical determining factor in how well the theoretical properties of a particular topology can be exploited. However, great care must be taken in deciding which constraint is applicable in a particular technology and due attention given to examining whether a topology may, by its nature, be able to exploit partitioning and interconnection design to alleviate the effects of that constraint. This paper reviews current thinking on these matters, and introduces a new hypermesh architecture called COBRA, together with an associated interconnection scheme which permits it to reduce substantially the effects of conventional bandwidth limitations.
