摘要:

To improve the scalability and reduce the implementation complexity of Mesh and Mesh-like networks, the semi-diagonal Torus (SD-Torus) network, a regular and symmetrical interconnection network is proposed. The SD-Torus network is a combination of a typical 2D-Torus network with two extra diagonal links from northwest to southeast direction for each node. The topological properties of SD-Torus networks are discussed, and a load balanced routing algorithm for SD-Torus is presented. System-C based simulation result shows that, compared with diagonal Mesh (DMesh), diagonal Torus (DTorus) and XMesh networks, the SD-Torus network can achieve high performance with a lower network cost. It makes the SD-Torus network a powerful candidate for the high performance interconnection networks.
