Efficient Interconnection Schemes For Vlsi And Parallel Computation, Ronald I. Greenberg
Efficient Interconnection Schemes For Vlsi And Parallel Computation, Ronald I. Greenberg
Ronald Greenberg
This thesis is primarily concerned with two problems of interconnecting components in VLSI technologies. In the first case, the goal is to construct efficient interconnection networks for general-purpose parallel computers. The second problem is a more specialized problem in the design of VLSI chips, namely multilayer channel routing. In addition, a final part of this thesis provides lower bounds on the area required for VLSI implementations of finite-state machines. This thesis shows that networks based on Leiserson's fat-tree architecture are nearly as good as any network built in a comparable amount of physical space. It shows that these "universal" networks …
