Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid interconnection network architecture to support integrated communication services for multicomputer-based database and multimedia systems. Most existing interconnection networks are mainly designed to handle a single type of message services, but may perform poorly for heterogeneous types of network traffic. Our study shows that wormhole routing networks, which are known to be suitable for number crunching applications, are inefficient in transfer of long files. We demonstrate the feasibility of integrating different network techniques based on the virtual channel technique and flexible routing mechanisms.
