Preliminary Evaluation of a Hybrid Deterministic/Adaptive Router

A novel routing scheme is proposed for virtual cutthrough routing that attempts to combine the low routing delay of deterministic routing with the exibility and low queuing delays of adaptive routing. This hybrid routing mechanism relies on a pipelined implementation where di erent paths and stages of the router are used for di erent routing modes. A simulation based experimental evaluation of these three schemes shows that the hybrid scheme does indeed achieve its objectives.
