Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In this correspondence, we propose a design and analysis technique for a class of Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs). This class of MINs have finite buffers at the input side of their switch elements and operate in a synchronous packet-switched mode. We first examine the important issue of different clock periods in the synchronous MIN analysis. Then we analyze our 'small cycle' design with a simple analytical model and compare the results with that of a somewhat standard 'big cycle' model that is currently used. The significant performance improvement of our model is shown based on various clock width, data width, and buffer length."
