— Although there is a trend in reducing the number of layers in core and metropolitan area networks, still the optimal design of multi-layer networks (like IP over WDM) remains a...
— An on-chip communication network is most power efficient when it operates just below the saturation point. For any given traffic load the network can be operated in this regi...
Lowering down the chip temperature is becoming one of the important design considerations, since temperature adversely and seriously affects many of design qualities, such as reli...
of abstraction and coarse granularity and distributed communication control. Focusing on using probabilistic metrics such as average values or variance to quantify design objective...
Tag switching is a way to combine the label-swapping forwarding paradigm with network layer routing. This has several advantages. Tags can have a wide spectrum of forwarding granu...
