Abstract
Due to advances in fiber-optics and VLSI technology, interconnection networks which allow multiple simultaneous broadcasts are becoming feasible. The performance of a multiprocessor system based on a broadcast interconnection network is examined using analytical models and simulation under the message-passing and distributed-shared-memory paradigms and is compared to similar performance measures on multicomputer systems based on the crossbar and the torus.
The effect of collective communications due to synchronization, data multicast and cache coherence is examined. Results reveal that the performance of a broadcast interconnection network is the least affected by large message communication times, compared to the other two architectures considered here. Even in the presence of intense synchronization, processor utilization remains practically unaffected while it drops quite dramatically in the other architectures.
