Abstract:Multicast communication, which involves transmitting information from one node to multiple nodes, is a vital operation in both broadband integrated services digital networks (BISDN) and scalable parallel computers. Among different multicast switching networks, much work has been centered around the crossbar switches due to the simplicity of implementation. However, crossbars have the maximum number of crosspoints and implementation complexity among all switching fabrics. Multistage interconnect networks (MINs)… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
