Abstract:Congestion leads to a severe performance degradation in multiprocessor interconnection networks. Therefore, the use of techniques that prevent network saturation are of crucial importance to avoid high execution times. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism that uses only local information to avoid network saturation in wormhole networks. In order to detect congestion, each network node computes the quotient between the real transmission time of messages and its minimum theoretical value. If this ratio is g… Show more
