BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-87-1144 ENTRY:: April 24, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Considerations for Multiprocessor Typologies TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Byrd, Gregory AUTHOR:: Delagi, Bruce DATE:: January 1987 PAGES:: 10 ABSTRACT:: Choosing a multiprocessor interconnection topology may depend on high-level considerations, such as the intended application domain and the expected number of processors. It certainly depends on low-level implementation details, such as packaging and communications protocols. We first use rough measures of cost and performance to characterize several topologies. We then examine how implementation details can affect the realizable performance of a topology. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19950424] END:: STAN//CS-TR-87-1144
