We propose a new arbitration method for an input buffered switch with a buffered crossbar. In the proposed method, an exhaustive polling method is used to decrease the synchronization. Using an approximate analysis, we explain how the proposed method improves the switch performance. Also, using computer simulations, we show the proposed method outperforms the previous methods under burst traffic.

본 논문에서는, multiple-buffered crossbar 스위치를 이용한 다층 연결 망의 성능 분석 모형을 제안하고, 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수 증가에 따른 성능 향상 추이를 분석하였다. Buffered 스위치 기법은 다층 연결 망 (Multistage Interconnection Network, MIN)의 내부의 데이터 충돌 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 제안된 성능 분석 모형은 먼저 네트웍 내부 임의 스위치 입력 단에 유입되는 데이터 패킷이 buffered 스위치 내부에서 전송되는 패턴을 확률적으로 분석하여 수립하였다. 분석 모형의 수학적 복잡도 절감을 위하여 확률식 유도 과정에 정상상태 확률 rosa(steady state probability)을 도입하였다. 제안한 모형은 스위치의 크기 및 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 수와 무관하게 확대 적용이 가능하다. 제안한 수학적 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검증을 위하여 병행된 시뮬레이션 처리 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 모형의 예측 데이터와 일치하는 결과를 보여 분석 모형의 타당성을 입증하였다. 2$\times$2 스위치로 구성된 8$\times$8 MIN을 대상으로 분석을 시행한 결과 스위치에 2~4개의 buffer를 장착했을 경우 unbuffer 스위치 경우와 비교하여 네트웍 정상상태 Throughout의 증가율이 높고 네트웍 Delay 또한 낮아져 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 2~2 crossbar 스위치로 구성된 MIN의 경우 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수가 네 개 정도일 경우가 가격 대 성능비 면에서 가장 유리한 것으로 연구되었다.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of the Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN) with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches under Hot-spot environment is proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem of the MIN. The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch. The performance of the multiple-buffered $a{\times}a$ crossbar switch is analyzed. Steady state probability concept is used to simplify the analyzing processes. Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are then evaluated. To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on a Baseline network that uses the multiple buffered crossbar switches. Less than 2% differences between analysis and simulation results are observed. It is also shown that the network performance is significantly improved when the small number of buffer spaces is given. However, the throughput elevation is getting reduced and network delay becomes increasing as more buffer spaces are added in a switch.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of Networks with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches is proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem of the switch networks. The characteristic of a network with crossbar switches is determined by both the connection pattern of the switches and the limitation of data flow in a each switch. In this thesis, the evaluation models of three different networks : Multistage interconnection network, Fat-tree network, and other ordinary communication network are developed. The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch with output-buffers. Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are evaluated. The proposed model takes simple and primitive switch networks, i.e., no flow control and drop packet, to demonstrate analysis procedures clearly. It, however, can not only be applied to any other complicate modern switch networks that have intelligent flow control but also estimate the performance of any size networks with multiple-buffered switches. To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on the various sizes of networks that uses the multiple buffered crossbar switches. It is shown that both the analysis and the simulation results match closely. It is also observed that the increasing rate of Normalized Throughput is reduced and the Network Delay is getting bigger as the buffer size increased.

In this paper, we propose a new switch element of buffered Banyan network and analysis it. The proposed switch element consists of CASO(Content ASsociated Output) buffers, its controller and 2*2 crossbar switch. This switch element increase the performance of buffered Banyan network by removing HOL blocking. Also, we analyze the proposed switch element by mathematical modelling method based on MY analysis model which is one of earier proposed models.
