Abstract

A stochastic analysis of multidimensional networks with unidirectional links between nodes is presented, which is more accurate than previous models and valid for the hypercube. The results are reconciled with those of previous researchers who have reported conflicting conclusions. In addition to the classic constraints of constant link width, pin-out, and bisection width, a new constraint, constant maximum throughput, is introduced. This constraint dramatizes the performance and cost trade-offs between different network topologies.
