Cost effective factor of a midimew connected mesh network
Background and Objective: Hierarchical Interconnection Network (HIN) is very much essential for the practical implementation of future
generation Massively Parallel Computers (MPC) systems which consists of millions of nodes. It yields better performance with low cost
due to reduction of wires and by exploring the locality in the communication\and traffic patterns. The main objective of this paper is to
analyze the static cost effective factor of Midimew connected Mesh Network (MMN). Materials and Methods: A Midimew connected Mesh
Network (MMN) is a HIN comprised of numerous basic modules, where the basic modules are 2D-mesh networks and they are
hierarchically interconnected using midimew network to assemble the higher level networks. Results: This study, present the architecture
of a MMN and evaluate the cost effective factor of MMN, TESH (Tori-connected Mesh), mesh and torus networks. The results shows that
the cost effective factor of MMN was trivially higher than that of mesh and torus network. Conclusion: It was revealed that the proposed
MMN yields a little bit high cost effectiveness factor with small diameter and average distance. Overall, performance with respect to cost
effective factor with small diameter and average distance suggests that the MMN will be a promising choice for next generation MPC

A survey of recent contributions of high performance NoC architectures
The Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm has been herald as the solution to the communication limitation that System-On-Chip (SoC) poses. However, power consumption is one of its major defects. To ensure that a high performance architecture is constructed, analyzing how power can be reduced in each area of the network is essential. Power dissipation can be reduced by adjustments to the routers, the architecture itself and the communication links. In this paper, a survey is conducted on recent contributions and techniques employed by researchers towards the reduction of power in the router architecture, network architecture and communication links
